Two people were injured as a result of the incident (poisoning from inhaling fumes), but they refused to be hospitalised. In addition, one person was rescued and brought to a safe distance from the building.

At another address, the façade of a 25-storey residential building was damaged on the 24th floor without subsequent burning. Before the firefighters arrived, two people with shrapnel wounds were found at the scene and hospitalised.

At another address, a fire broke out in a one-storey non-residential building and spread to the roof over a total area of 20 square metres. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire.
