Preliminary post-mortem reports of the eight victims who lost their lives in the blast indicated devastating internal injuries caused by the powerful explosion.
The victims suffered ruptured lungs, damaged eardrums, and injuries to the intestines — signs that they were thrown violently by the force of the blast.
Experts confirmed that no splinter fragments or conventional explosive traces were found on the bodies or clothing, suggesting the use of a high-intensity or improvised device. The final confirmation of the explosive material will be determined after forensic analysis.
