The strikes targeted five gas stations in Dnipro, as well as locations in the Petrykivka and Slobozhanske communities. In the Synelnykove district, five communities suffered damage to infrastructure, businesses, a gymnasium, a cultural center, shops, and gas stations. The Nikopol area saw attacks on its administrative center and the Pokrovska community.

Emergency crews from the State Emergency Service (DSNS) extinguished all fires at the gas stations, as well as blazes at an administrative building and an industrial site. Open-area fires were also brought under control.
