The falling debris caused limited material damage to several buildings and vehicles. The competent authorities have taken emergency procedures following the incident, the directorate added.
Why this mattersThis incident highlights the ongoing security challenges in the region, which could affect construction timelines and project costs due to increased risk assessments and insurance premiums.
