The explosion resulted in a small fire which was quickly extinguished before the arrival of the fire brigade. Despite the prompt containment of the flames, minor damages were reported to the entrance of the building.

A team from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit (TEEM) arrived on the scene to investigate further. They collected a burst gas canister, a bottle with traces of a flammable liquid, and a firecracker, all of which are now subject to forensic examination by the Police Laboratories.

Authorities are currently working to determine the motive behind the attack, as the identity of the perpetrators and the specific target of the incident remain unknown.
