In addition, she added that “several additional victims” were injured, including fifteen who had to be transferred to hospitals.

According to the first investigations, the agents consider “that some of the victims have been attacked intentionally, while others have been attacked at random”, although they avoided specifying what the motive for the attacks could have been.
