The Islamic State claims the attack with a knife that made at least seven wounded in Surgut



A man stabbed at least seven people, Saturday, August 19, in the street in this city of Siberia.

This is the fourth meeting of the week in Europe. A man armed with a knife was shot dead by police after stabbing at least seven people in the street in Surgut, Russia, on the morning of Saturday, August 19. The attack was claimed a few hours later by the terrorist Islamic state organization, through its Amaq propaganda agency. "The assailant in the town of Surgut in Russia is an EI soldier," the statement said.
The assailant "attacked passersby, wounding a knife seven people," said the Committee of Inquiry in Russia, the body responsible for the main criminal investigations in the country. The Russian authorities said the police had "neutralized" the attacker. Born in 1994, the latter is a native of the city.
Victims with "variable injuries"
All the victims were hospitalized "with varying injuries", according to the Russian Investigative Committee on its site (in Russian). Two of them are in serious condition, the government of the Khanty-Mansi region said. At first, the terrorist track was not the hypothesis favored by the investigators. The mayor of Surgut, Vadim Shuvalov, called in a video message the inhabitants of this city of Western Siberia to "keep their calm", ensuring that the police controlled the situation.
This attack comes after a knife attack in Finland where an 18-year-old Moroccan stabbed two people to death and wounded eight others in the southern city of Turku. Spain was the target Thursday of a double murderous attack in Barcelona - claimed by the Islamic State group - and Cambrils in Catalonia (northeast), which left at least 14 dead and 120 wounded.
