The Omega Special Operations Center of the National Guard stated that the operation required infiltrating enemy lines. Before the explosion, the building had been occupied by Russian commandos, whom Ukrainian forces needed to dislodge.

It was decided to collapse the building directly on top of the Russian troops. To execute this, the Special Forces prepared explosives using several TM-62 anti-tank mines. The Ukrainian soldiers then drove an armored vehicle close to the building occupied by the enemy.
