According to Westdeutscher Rundfunk, walls collapsed in the ARD studio, likely due to shockwaves, while windows shattered and equipment was destroyed. An assessment of the building’s structural integrity is required before operations can resume. Meanwhile, Deutsche Welle reported damage to windows and ceilings in its nearby studio, but operations were resumed the following morning. DW Director Massing highlighted the perilous conditions under which journalists operate to report on the situation in Ukraine, while the German Journalists’ Association condemned the attack as an infringement on press freedom.
