According to Ukrinform, Volodymyr Kohut, head of the Poltava Regional Military Administration, reported on Telegram that the attack directly hit an enterprise building, destroying it. Falling debris sparked a fire, which was swiftly contained by State Emergency Service units.

The blast wave damaged seven private homes, while power lines were also affected. As a result, more than 100 businesses and nearly 1,800 households remain without electricity.
