Local authorities are still gathering information, but initial reports suggest a single suspect has been apprehended.
Chinese media outlets confirmed the attack and the high casualty rate, which contradicts earlier reports of two deaths and 23 injuries. Witnesses described a chaotic scene with people injured and lying on the ground. Photos published by state media showed a man wielding what appeared to be knives in both hands.
This incident is the latest in a string of knife attacks in China, despite a nationwide ban on firearms. Last year, Yunnan Province itself saw a knife attack in a residential district that left two dead and several injured.
The motive for the attack remains unclear, and authorities are still investigating. (ILKHA)
