Four people were killed and several injured by gunfire near a mosque in Oman, Omani police said on Tuesday. It was a rare security breach in one of the most stable countries in the Middle East.

“All security measures and procedures have been put in place to control the situation and evidence gathering and investigation processes are being completed,” police said in a statement.

The US Embassy in the capital Muscat said it was following reports of the shooting incident in Wadi al-Kabir in the governorate of the capital Muscat.

Maintain neutrality

“US citizens should remain vigilant, monitor local news and follow the instructions of local authorities,” it said in a statement.

Oman maintained its neutrality in the troubled region and mediated, among other things, in disputes between the United States and Iran.
