How Many Volunteers Were Injured After the Explosion at the Surmalu Trade Center

After the explosion at the Surmalu Trade Center, volunteers provided significant assistance to the search and rescue operations. However, their largely uncoordinated efforts further delayed the work as their lack of experience caused them to become casualties themselves. This was stated by Hovhannes Yemishyan, Deputy Head of the Emergency Situations Rescue Service, during a conversation with reporters on August 22.
