Claim 1: “killing at least 21 people including 18 foreign nationals”
DISPUTED
While multiple sources agree that at least 21 people died, there is a direct contradiction regarding the number of foreign nationals. One source reports 12 foreign nationals (Reuters), while the claim asserts 18. Other sources confirm foreign nationals were among the dead but do not specify the number as 18.
