The attacks caused 167 explosions in 24 hours. Over 50 of the explosions occurred in Bilopillia, which was hit with artillery, mortar, and rocket launcher attacks.

The communities of Putyvl, Velyka Pysarivka, Krasnopillia, Esman, Nova Sloboda, Yunakivka, Mykolaiv, Shalyhyne, Khotin, Myropillia, and Seredyna-Buda also came under fire.

No casualties or damage to civilian infrastructure was reported.
