The blasts, which began late on Tuesday, caused widespread damage, including the destruction of 17 structures and severe impacts on nearby medical facilities. Eyewitnesses reported artillery shells raining down on surrounding neighborhoods, causing fatalities and extensive material damage. The cause of the fire and subsequent explosions remains unclear, and President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno has called for an investigation. Authorities have urged residents to stay calm as efforts continue to manage the aftermath.
