The ambush resulted in the death of two Turkish nationals, while another was injured and hospitalized.

Footage has emerged of one of the alleged perpetrators fleeing the scene after the shooting. A shop owner who witnessed the incident stated:
“Bullets were flying everywhere; I was scared and ran inside my shop. When I came out, I saw one of them lying at the pharmacy across the street. From what I heard, there were two shooters, but I only saw one pass in front of my shop.”
