A similar article, in French, from the same source adds a few numbers:

There were "79 police officers and gendarmes injured", the ministry added, in a still provisional toll. In all, 1,350 vehicles were set on fire, 234 buildings burnt or damaged and 2,560 fires recorded on public roads and streets, a police source told AFP. The ministry also recorded 31 attacks on police stations, 16 on municipal police stations and 11 on gendarmerie barracks.
