| (32 minutes later) | |
| At least eight children have been stabbed and killed during a knife attack on elementary school in Hubei province, China, on the first day of classes following the summer holidays, according to media reports citing police. | |
| Police have reportedly arrested a 40-year-old suspect named Yu whom they found at the scene. Two children injured in the incident were taken to hospital for emergency treatment. | |
| The attack reportedly took place at 8am local time on Monday in the Chaoyangpo village of Enshi city in Hubei province. | |
| The motive for the attack remains unclear but similar knife attacks are an all too common occurrence in mainland China: earlier this year, two children were killed in an attack at a Hunai province school, while other attack on a school, this time involving a hammer, was carried out in Beijing in January. | |
