The Omani Police and the military and security agencies have concluded their response to a mass shooting that occurred on Monday near a mosque in the Al-Wadi Al-Kabir area of Muscat.

The Omani Ministry of Health promptly set up an emergency management center to handle the situation, deploying over 50 specialized medical personnel to treat the injured.

The tragic incident resulted in the death of six individuals, including a police officer, and left 28 others wounded. Investigations are ongoing to uncover the details surrounding the event.

The attack targeted members of the Pakistani community who were holding a mourning ceremony for Imam Hussein on the occasion of Ashura at the Imam Ali Husseiniya.

This marks the first incident of its kind in the history of the Sultanate of Oman.
