Details: No company employees were injured in the attack.
Quote from Yaroslav Hryshyn: "The main thing is that all our employees are alive and well. That is what matters most. This is war. We were prepared for such events. The enemy will not be able to stop us. On the contrary, we continue to work in turbojet mode 24/7 to respond as quickly and painfully as possible."
More details: Hryshyn added that the company continues to meet its commitments and keeps production processes running despite the aftermath of the attack.
Quote from Hryshyn: "Everything can be rebuilt. Hardware and equipment are nothing compared to people. We are continuing our work and are ready to do even more."
More details: The company is currently assessing the scale of the damage and determining the scope of restoration work.
Heneral Chereshnia also said it had prepared in advance for such risks, given Russia's systematic attempts to strike Ukraine's defence industry.
Background: The Kyiv office of Skyeton, a Ukrainian manufacturer of unmanned aerial systems, was destroyed during the combined Russian attack on the night of 13-14 May.
