At least 10 people have been killed and 15 injured in a series of knife attacks in Canada.
The American news agency Associated Press (AP) has told Canadian police that the attacks took place on Sunday in a nearby town and a population in the province of Scituate, after which two suspects are being sought.

According to the British news agency Reuters, the police have identified two people as suspects, Damian Sanderson and Miles Sanderson, and said that according to the latest information, the two were traveling in a black car.
"Some victims appear to have been targeted by suspects, while others appear to have been attacked indiscriminately," said Rhonda Blackmore, assistant commissioner of the Shetwan Police.
They still could not tell about the cause of these incidents.
"What happened in our province today is terrible," Blackmore said.
He added that there were 13 crime scenes where either dead or injured persons were found.
According to the AP, it is one of the deadliest mass shootings in Canadian history.
Earlier in Canada 2020, a man disguised as a police officer shot people in their homes and set them on fire in the province of Nova Scotia. 22 people were killed in this incident.
In 2019, a man in Toronto used a van to kill 10 pedestrians.
However, mass killings in Canada are lower than in the United States.
Blackmore added that police began receiving reports of knife attacks on the First Nation community just before 6 a.m. More reports of attacks quickly emerged and by midday police issued an alert that a vehicle allegedly carrying two suspects had been spotted in Regina, about 335 kilometers south of the towns where the stabbing occurred. There were attacks.
Police said the last information they had from the public was that the suspects were seen there around lunchtime. No one has been seen since.
