An armed attack during a celebration event in the Bondi Beach area near the city of Sydney shook the entire Australia. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to the police, the attack was carried out by a father and son. As a result of this tragedy, 15 people died, one of whom was killed by the attackers.

Thus, the number of victims reached 16. It was noted that children were among the deceased.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called this incident a severe tragedy and announced that the government has decided to strengthen measures to prevent armed violence. Under the new plans, the regulations for gun ownership will be tightened.

In particular, it is planned to shorten the validity period of gun licenses and limit the number of firearms allowed per person. These measures are aimed at increasing safety in the country.

The police confirmed that one of the attackers had held a legal gun license for several years. This raised questions about whether the existing regulations are sufficient.

Currently, the causes of the attack and the details of the incident are being thoroughly investigated. After the attack, flowers were laid in the Bondi Beach area to commemorate those who died.

Security measures in the area have been strengthened. The government and the public emphasized the importance of preventing such tragedies and expressed deep condolences to the affected families.
