Residential buildings, an ambulance station, a hypermarket, a post office and a monastery were damaged. In the private sector, houses on several streets were destroyed. Rescue workers and police were on the scene in each of the districts from the very first minutes.

All fires have now been extinguished; at this very moment, structures are being hosed down and evidence of the crimes is being secured.
