Six people were killed when gunmen opened fire on a funeral in central Jordan, a government spokesperson said. The attack took place in the village of Hmoud in the Karak governorate, where another 28 people were injured. CCTV footage, verified by the BBC, shows three gunmen approaching the church from a road, armed with handguns. Two attackers fired at mourners for several minutes before retreating and returning with a third man. Security forces have been deployed to the area, and a manhunt is underway. The interior ministry will brief the public shortly, and the prime minister will chair a Security Council meeting.
