There were at least 10 victims in the attack, but it was not clear how many were injured or dead.

The report did not also provide any information on the identity of the perpetrator.

According to Xinhua, the attack happened in the early afternoon at a hospital located in Zhenxiong in the southern Chinese province of Sichuan.

There were videos on Weibo, China’s social media platform similar to X, showing the arrest of the suspected perpetrator.
