Gunmen open fire at a house party in a South African township near Durban, killing at least 11 people and injuring three others, according to police statements reported by multiple outlets. Several sources say three armed men carry out the attack.
The incident occurs in KwaMakhutha in KwaZulu-Natal, where guests gather at a private home. Al Jazeera and other reports specifically mention that a pregnant woman is among the dead. Cyprus Mail and others add that 13 men and the pregnant woman are among attendees, while Jerusalem Post and Deutsche Welle say some victims were known to authorities, though police do not provide further details.
Outlets differ mainly in wording and emphasis. Some focus on the death toll (“at least 11 dead”), while others highlight the suspected number of attackers (three) and the victim demographics (including the pregnant woman). Several reports also state the motive is not immediately clear and that an investigation is under way, with authorities searching for the suspects.
