In total, 79 apartment blocks and more than 30 private houses were damaged. The five-storey building suffered significant destruction, with the bomb demolishing its two upper floors. As a result of the attack, three people, including an 11-year-old child and two women aged 71 and 72, were killed, while 41 others were injured, including children.
