A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Local officials said the metropolitan region came under significant strikes during nighttime hours. A minor died and three other people were hurt.
