A 13-year-old boy opened fire at a school in Türkiye, killing nine people and injuring 13 others, officials said.
According to foreign media reports, the shooting took place at a school in Kahramanmaraş province. Turkish authorities said six of the injured remain in a critical condition. Following the attack, all schools across the province have been closed for two days.
Initial reports indicate that those killed include three students, a teacher, and the suspected student assailant. It remains unclear whether the attacker took his own life or was killed during a police response.
The provincial governor said the assailant was an eighth-grade student who entered two classrooms and opened fire. The weapon used in the attack is believed to have belonged to his father, a former police officer.
The Turkish justice minister said an investigation is under way and a high-level committee has been formed in connection with the incident.
This marks the second school shooting in the country in as many days, with students reported to have jumped from windows in an attempt to escape.
