A knife attack occurred in the city of Bordeaux, southwest France, leaving one person dead and two injured.
The attack occurred at around 8 p.m. local time on April 10 in the Miroir d'Eau area. Local police said it may have been a simple brawl. No signs of terrorism were found. The suspect was shot dead by police at the scene. According to Le Figaro, the attacker and the two victims may be of "North African origin".
France has been placed on its highest alert for terrorist attacks since October 2023, after a suspected Islamist stormed a school in the north of the country and stabbed a teacher to death.
France has been a frequent target of Islamist extremists over the past decade, particularly the so-called Islamic State (IS) terrorist group, and the situation has been further strained amid the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
France is currently on special security alert ahead of the Paris Olympics in July and August.
