Two women were treated on-site by ambulance crews and did not require hospitalization. A third person was transferred to Al Jahra Hospital's emergency department for further evaluation. The remaining three individuals made their way to the hospital independently.

Injuries included superficial cuts to the head and limbs, temporary hearing loss from the blast, and injuries from falls caused by the explosion. "All cases were stable, and received the necessary care without serious complications," Al Sanad said.

Field teams afterward swept the affected area to confirm no additional casualties had gone unreported. Al Sanad said the health system remains on full alert and urged residents to follow official guidance from the relevant authorities.
