According to the local prefecture, around 100 homes were affected and 26 people were injured; about 2,800 households temporarily lost power (SRF).

Editorial boundary
Still open: whether further independent sources confirm, correct or merely repeat the same development. The trust level describes the source trail, not absolute truth.
