Witnesses reported hearing multiple loud blasts within seconds of each other as the barrage struck buildings and surrounding infrastructure. Fires quickly spread through several blocks, forcing residents to flee their homes while emergency responders rushed toward the danger in an effort to rescue survivors trapped beneath the rubble.
Local authorities have confirmed that several people have lost their lives in the attack, with many more reported injured. Hospitals in the area are said to be overwhelmed as medical teams work urgently to treat victims suffering from blast injuries, burns, and collapsing structures.
Emergency crews, including firefighters and search-and-rescue teams, continue to comb through the damaged buildings. The full extent of the destruction is still being assessed, but early reports indicate that multiple residential buildings and public facilities have been severely damaged.
Residents described scenes of panic and chaos as the rockets struck. “Everything happened so fast,” one witness said. “We heard the whistling sound above us, and then the explosions started. People were running everywhere.”
Authorities are urging civilians to remain in secure shelters while the situation develops. Meanwhile, international observers are closely monitoring the unfolding events, calling for restraint and humanitarian assistance for those affected.
The situation remains fluid, and officials warn that casualty numbers may rise as rescue operations continue.
More details are expected to emerge as emergency teams gain access to the hardest-hit areas.
