Authorities in Oman have reported a tragic incident that occurred in a mosque in the Wadi Kabir neighborhood of Muscat, the capital city of Oman. The Royal Oman Police confirmed that the shooting resulted in the deaths of four individuals, with several others sustaining injuries.
The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, and the identity of the perpetrator has not been disclosed by the police. Oman, situated on the eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, is known for its peaceful environment, making such acts of violence particularly rare in the sultanate.
Following the incident, the U.S. Embassy in Oman issued a cautionary advisory urging American citizens to avoid the affected area as authorities continue to investigate the shooting and ensure the safety of the public.
