Several people sustained injuries after gunmen ambushed a bus and opened fire on passengers at Pusi-Namoo, a suburb of Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region.
The attack occurred around 8:00 PM on Saturday as the bus was travelling from Garu in the Upper East Region to Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
The assailants reportedly targeted the vehicle, leaving numerous passengers with severe gunshot wounds.
Emergency services swiftly transported the injured to the Upper East Regional Hospital in Bolgatanga for urgent medical care. The extent of the injuries and the current condition of the victims remain unclear.
While the motive for the attack is yet to be established, sources suggest it may be linked to the ongoing Bawku Conflict.
The area has witnessed sporadic violence in recent months, escalating tensions and heightening insecurity.
The police have secured the crime scene and launched an investigation to identify the perpetrators.
Authorities have urged the public to remain calm as they work to bring the attackers to justice.
