According to the health ministry, a teenage boy tragically lost his life when a window frame fell on him. The ministry also stated that 24 individuals had been hospitalized but were not in life-threatening condition, while 138 others were treated for various injuries.
Despite the incident, international flights continued to operate as usual at the capital’s airport, according to the airport administration.
Videos and photographs on social media depicted flames leaping into the night sky, accompanied by a substantial smoke hovering above the warehouse. However, the precise cause of the explosion remained unclear.
