MOSCOW: Four Indian students were injured in a knife attack at a medical university in Russia’s Bashkortostan region on Saturday, the Indian embassy in Moscow and Russian investigators confirmed.
“An unfortunate incident of attack has occurred in Ufa. Several persons including four Indian students have been injured,” the Indian embassy said.
Russian investigators reported that a 15-year-old assailant carried out the attack, according to the Reuters.
The incident took place in a student dormitory in the city of Ufa, about 1,100 kilometers east of Moscow, and left several students, as well as police officers, injured, investigators said.
The Investigative Committee said it had opened a criminal case into alleged negligence by officials, who were aware of behavioral issues of one of the students but reportedly failed to take preventive measures.
