Children and adults. Without warning, they were shot at point-blank range. This is what happened during the armed attack in Isoanala, Betroka district. A single-family home in the Tanambao fokontany was targeted by a man carrying firearms. The shooting occurred around 8 p.m. According to reports, the man opened fire on people inside the house, leaving three family members wounded. A five-year-old child was shot in the abdomen, while another six-year-old child was shot three times in the chest. Their mother, 50 years old, was also wounded in the chest. After the shooting, the man fled immediately. The motive for this attack remains unknown to date. According to accounts from neighbors, a man was seen wandering around the house that evening, apparently searching for a family member. The wounded were taken to Betroka for initial treatment on site. They continue to receive medical care, particularly the innocent children who were shot and have no shelter. Meanwhile, investigations into identifying the perpetrator and his accomplices are ongoing. Local residents are deeply concerned about this serious incident in Isoanala, as the shooting targeted everyone in the house indiscriminately—neither sparing children nor adults.
