At least eight people were killed after a gunman opened fire at a transport hub in Egypt, triggering panic among commuters and prompting a major security response.
The shooting took place at a busy transportation center, where witnesses reported scenes of chaos as people attempted to flee the area during the attack. Security forces later surrounded the location and launched investigations into the identity and motives of the attacker.
Egyptian authorities confirmed multiple fatalities and injuries following the assault, while emergency teams transported victims to nearby hospitals. Officials have not yet released full details about the gunman or whether the attack was linked to any organised group.
The incident shocked the country and raised renewed concerns over security at crowded public facilities. Egypt has experienced previous attacks targeting civilians and infrastructure over the years, particularly in areas with heavy public movement. Authorities said investigations were continuing as security measures were tightened around transport centers and other sensitive locations following the attack.
