The “serious and vicious attack” also injured 45 people – among them elderly and children, local media report.
A tragic car attack in Zhuhai, China, has claimed at least 35 lives and injured 45 others, marking one of the country’s deadliest recent incidents of public violence. On November 6, Mr. Fan, a 62-year-old reportedly disgruntled over a divorce settlement, drove into groups exercising at Zhuhai’s sports stadium. Attempting to escape, he was apprehended in a coma from self-inflicted wounds, according to authorities. The shocking event has sparked national outcry, with President Xi Jinping calling for “severe punishment” and pledging extensive care for the injured.
Witnesses describe Mr. Fan’s actions as deliberate, noting the car circled the track, targeting multiple areas. Videos showing the aftermath were quickly censored on Chinese social media, though some footage remains. This attack occurs amid heightened security in Zhuhai, where Airshow China, a significant military showcase, is underway, further drawing international attention to the incident.
