Local rescue officer Muhammad Nur Khairi Samsumin stated that six individuals received treatment at the air disaster unit, 13 were transported to a medical center, and one was transferred to a public hospital. The affected individuals suffered dizziness after exposure to the leak.
Emergency services and health department officials were dispatched to the scene. The incident did not disrupt air travel at the airport.
