Terrorist opens fire at Shiraz shrine, at least one killed

At least one person was killed and eight others injured in a brazen terrorist attack at a Shia shrine in Iran’s southern city of Shiraz on Sunday.
Media reports suggested that the assailant opened fire on Shah Cheragh Shrine’s guards after he failed to force his way into the holy place.
A deputy provincial governor said the gunman was arrested.
The death toll could rise as local officials said two of those injured were in critical condition.
On October 26, 2022, a Daesh-affiliated gunman barged into the shrine, killing 15 pilgrims before he was shot and injured by security forces. The terrorist later died of his wounds in hospital.
