Eleven people were killed when armed men entered a home in Durban, South Africa, according to RaiNews. Among the dead was a pregnant woman, the outlet reported. Three other people were injured in the attack.
RaiNews, which published its report on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, described the incident as a massacre carried out inside a house. Italian outlets the Corriere della Sera and Il Fatto Quotidiano also covered the attack, reporting that gunmen stormed the dwelling and opened fire on those inside. The three wounded were confirmed in those accounts.
The reports available so far do not identify the victims beyond the detail that one was pregnant, and they give no information about the number of attackers, their possible motive, or whether anyone has been arrested. No group or individual has been named as responsible in the material published by the outlets.
South Africa has long recorded high rates of violent crime, though the reporting summarized here does not place this attack within any broader official crime data or compare it with other incidents. RaiNews and the other outlets have not yet published a full account of what happened inside the house or how the attack unfolded.
Further reporting is expected to clarify the identities of the victims, the condition of the three survivors, and whether police in Durban have made any arrests or identified suspects.
