As a result of the enemy attack, three local residents required medical assistance. One man sustained shrapnel wounds and was transported to the hospital, where he is receiving professional care.

Two young women who were in the affected area suffered acute stress reactions. Specialists provided them with the necessary medical aid directly at the scene.
