Official media reported today, Sunday, that at least 7 people were killed and 7 others were wounded, during a knife attack in northeastern China.

The attack took place in Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province, outside a sauna and a regular bath. The suspect has been arrested, while the motive for the attack remains unknown.

Chinese law restricts the sale and possession of firearms, and mass attacks are usually carried out with knives or homemade explosives.

In the past, the authorities described the perpetrators of such attacks as "mentally ill or holding a grudge against society."

In previous attacks, a security guard injured a school carrying a knife, at least 39 people, in a kindergarten in the southern Guangxi province in June this year. The perpetrator was sentenced to death.

In 2018, a man killed one person and wounded 12 others during a knife attack in a shopping mall in the capital, Beijing.
