The storm brought torrential rain and fierce winds, leading to significant destruction of vehicles and homes.

Local authorities reported that the hailstorm caused extensive damage, with many residents left to assess the wreckage of their properties.

“This is one of the worst storms we have experienced in recent years,” said a spokesperson for the National Emergency Secretariat. Emergency services are currently working to clear debris and assist affected families.
