Mamlaka za jiji Jumamosi zilisema kuwa watu 8 walikufa, lakini kufikia leo idadi hiyo imeongezeka hadi 21, huku wengine 14 walijeruhiwa. Kati ya waliofariki miili isiyopungua miwili ilikuwa ya watoto. Shirika la Msalaba mwekundu nchini humo limesema kuwa mahema yamewekwa karibu na eneo la tukio, ili kutoa hifadhi kwa watu walioathiriwa.
