The confrontation reportedly escalated into violence, with the military using live ammunition against the local population. The incident, which is part of a larger pattern of political unrest and human rights issues in the region, resulted in numerous casualties. The exact number of victims remains unknown, but local sources reported fatalities and injuries. The violence was met with strong resistance and defiance from the Oromo people, culminating in protests and expressions of solidarity.
