Johannesburg (Kaab TV) – In South Africa, particularly in the city of Johannesburg, a mass shooting has occurred in which at least nine people were killed and more than ten others injured, according to officials from the country’s security agencies.
An unidentified group attacked a restaurant where most of the victims were present. Police stated that the attackers were using a vehicle, which they described as a car that was being driven through the area during the attack.
So far, the names of those killed and injured have not been released. It is also unclear how many of the victims were men or women, the motive behind targeting the restaurant, whether foreigners were among the victims, and other questions being raised by the public.
National crime investigation units are tracking information related to the vehicles used by the still-unidentified attackers who carried out the assault that resulted in multiple deaths and injuries.
Authorities are reviewing surveillance cameras installed on roads and in neighborhoods to determine where the vehicles used in the attack came from. In addition, ballistic examinations are being conducted on bullets recovered from some of the victims’ bodies, according to reports.
In recent months, South Africa has seen an increase in targeted killings, attacks against foreigners, robberies of business premises, and ambushes on roads used by vehicles driven by non-citizens traveling between cities.
