Quote from Trukhanov: "A more precise attack and we could have lost many of our specimens, exhibits which are very famous throughout the world. Fortunately, this did not happen.
In the morning, our district administration will be working to prepare documents to help all those affected here.
The roof of a residential building has been damaged, we will examine and repair it as winter is coming.
Now the situation is not easy, because the water supply is damaged, and the pressure is quite high.
The situation is under control, but we will need such a very thorough examination to be sure that everything is fine."
