Buenos Aires, Argentina: A 15-year-old boy opened fire in a school in Argentina Monday, killing another pupil and wounding eight other people in a rare burst of US-style violence, officials said. The assailant was taken into custody after the shooting in the Mariano Moreno School in the central town of San Cristobal, the Santa Fe provincial government said. "I went upstairs, and just as I was about to come down, some students saw a boy come out of the bathroom with a gun and started screaming," Priscila, a student at the school, told local broadcaster Radio Con Vos. "He started shooting into the air and we all ran out." Six students were treated for superficial injuries sustained fleeing the scene and are all out of danger, the ministry said. Two other students were transferred to the Rafaela Regional Hospital, one in serious though stable condition. The identities of the assailant and the victims were not immediately released. The shooting happened as students waited to raise the national flag, a ritual performed daily before classes begin at the school in the town of some 16,000 residents. The weapon used by the assailant "is believed to be a shotgun," Ramiro Munoz, San Cristobal government secretary, told TN television. Classes were suspended and the students sent home.

Danish shipping firm Maersk has announced Oman’s port of Salalah, which was hit by a drone over the weekend, will reopen on Tuesday. Omani authorities said one worker was wounded and minor damage was caused by the strike on the port, which is run by Maersk subsidiary APM Terminals and is one of the key shipping facilities in the Gulf state. Maersk said the area damaged was “limited” and the port’s management will take “necessary measures” to progressively build up to full capacity. Some “constraints” remain, but additional safety and “preventive” measures have been taken because of the strike, it said.
