Footage from the scene showed a bus destroyed by the blast, with its engine reportedly thrown into another nearby vehicle due to the force of the explosion.
Initial reports placed the death toll at seven, with at least 17 injured, but later updates indicated that several of the wounded died from their injuries, raising the total fatalities to 12. Most of the victims were reported to be civilians, including Indigenous passengers traveling on the bus.
