This was reported by Reuters, according to Espreso.

“Last night there was an attack on the city of Lutsk in Ukraine and our factory has been hit in that attack,” SKF’s spokesperson Carl Bjernstam said.

“We are very sad to confirm that three of our colleagues have been killed,” he added.

According to him, the company is currently assessing the damage caused to the plant as a result of the attack, but stressed that it is primarily focused on employees and their safety.
