The mudslide completely destroyed two residential houses, partially damaged two more, and also caused partial damage to 12 auxiliary structures and 12 household plots.

Additionally, 750 meters of water pipeline, six inter-village bridges, and 214 small and 22 large livestock animals were impacted.
