Health personnel have had to come to the scene to treat the wounded , and 20 officers have also been slightly injured.

The Department of Safety and Security has reported that 19 persons have been arrested for the time being on charges of public disorder. All the persons arrested are persons involved in the counter-operation. The incidents have also caused extensive material damage, such as damaged vehicles, burnt and dumped containers, broken cobblestones and erected archets.

The investigation is still open and further arrests are not ruled out.
