Looks like the damage stops at the main spar - fortunate since if it penetrated further there would likely have been a massive fuel leak.
Still appears it'll be an expensive fix - lead edge slats look trashed, and I'd expect damage to the nearby leading edge actuators - and the spar will need to be thoroughly evaluated and possibly repaired.
