I have been following this and trying to clarify "casualties". Often military reporting of casualties means injured and does not always mean deceased. They call it a mass casualty event meaning multiple injured. I don't see much on official news reports, just lots of comments on social media posts. I do know the Army tends to keep things quiet longer than civilian agencies tend to so we might not have anything official for a while.
