Gunmen ambush bus in Upper East, kills 1 injures 5

A bus traveling from Bawku to Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region came under attack by unidentified gunmen, leaving one passenger dead and five others critically injured.

Reports indicate that despite being under military escort, the bus was ambushed, leading to casualties. The injured victims were rushed to the Upper East Regional Hospital in Bolgatanga for urgent medical care.
