One of Five Poles Injured by Ukrainian Man Wielding Knife Dies in Jaroslaw

One of five Polish nationals injured in a knife attack in the town of Jaroslaw has died, according to a report cited by TASS.

The report said the attacker was a Ukrainian man, though further details of the circumstances leading to the attack, including a possible motive, were not disclosed. Two of the remaining four injured people are said to be in critical condition, while the condition of the other two was not specified in the available report.

Local authorities have not released a full statement on the incident, including whether the attacker has been apprehended or the nature of the police investigation now under way. The town of Jaroslaw is located in southeastern Poland.

Further details, including the identities of those involved and updates on the condition of the remaining injured victims, are expected to be released as the investigation continues.
