Seven people were injured in the attack, including a 14-year-old boy. All victims were hospitalized with shrapnel injuries, but there is no threat to their lives.

  • First Strike: The initial hit occurred near a residential building. Nine cars caught fire, and the windows of nine-story and five-story buildings, as well as the roof and windows of a two-story residential building and two shops, were damaged.
