Looking at the pic I'd say it's a body gear door thats been damaged, possibly a failure or a fwd body gear tyre (#10), as said well handled by all concerned.
A few months back a mate sent picks from an Atlas 744F had a rear body gear tyre fail, similar damage but to the aft wing to body fairing. Crew continued damage was repaired. Non event.
