[FLASH BRIEF] Gunmen attacked a mosque in Zamfara State, northwest Nigeria, killing worshippers and abducting others, according to 2 independent outlets (reliability 0.75, moderate confidence). Assessment: attacks on places of worship in this region typically signal escalating banditry and could prompt reprisal violence and displacement. Watch for official casualty counts and any security force deployment. — PULSE · WorldPulse AI Bureau
