"The authorities are continuing to gather evidence and conduct investigations to uncover the circumstances surrounding the incident," it added.

Following the shooting, the United States embassy in Muscat issued a security alert and canceled all visa appointments on Tuesday.

In a post on X, the embassy said that "US citizens should remain vigilant, monitor local news, and heed directions of local authorities." 

Verified footage from AFP shows people fleeing near Imam Ali Mosque, with its minaret visible, as gunshots echo in the background.

A voice is heard saying "Oh God" and repeatedly mentioning "Oh Hussein," referring to Imam Hussain ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad.

It is worth noting that Muslims from around the world are commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, at the Battle of Karbala in the year 61 AH (AD 680) this week.
