In Switzerland, a knife and axe-wielding Iranian attacker took 15 people hostage on a train in Essert-sous-Champvent. The police, alerted by passengers, intervened after negotiations failed, and approximately 60 officers successfully rescued the hostages unharmed. The 32-year-old asylum seeker was shot and killed during the police raid. Although the motive remains unclear, an investigation by the regional prosecutor’s office is underway to determine any possible terrorism links.
