Four people were killed and several wounded by gunfire near a mosque in the Omani capital of Muscat, police announced on Tuesday, in a rare breach of security in one of the most stable countries in the Middle East.
The attack early on Tuesday took place in Wadi al-Kabir, a district east of the capital city, Muscat.
Omani police announced they’re taking “all necessary security measures and procedures … to handle the situation”. They gave an initial casualty toll of four killed and “several” injured.
“The authorities are continuing to gather evidence and conduct investigations to uncover the circumstances surrounding the incident,” police said on social media platform X.
No motive or potential suspects were identified in the attack. A state of emergency was declared in the area.
The Pakistani foreign ministry also said in a statement the “terrorist attack” in Wadi al-Kabir, in the governorate of the capital city Muscat, had caused the deaths of four Pakistani nationals.
