In Katsina State in northern Nigeria, a horrific attack on a mosque occurred, resulting in at least 27 people dead. According to Reuters, the attack took place during morning prayers at the Unguwan Manta mosque. The perpetrators broke into the prayer building and opened fire on the worshippers.



Local officials and doctors confirmed the tragedy and noted that the number of injured is being clarified. Some people were injured and hospitalized. Currently, the police are investigating the attack and trying to find the perpetrators.



It is worth noting that another incident occurred in the American city of Lexington, Kentucky - a shooting at a church, where two women died and three others were injured. This is yet another example of violence that shocks society.


The tragic attack on the mosque in Nigeria, where 27 people were killed as a result of the attack, raises outrage and concern. The police are conducting an investigation, and the local community demands punishment for the criminals who committed this heinous act of violence.
