YUNNAN: Fifty-one children and three teachers were injured at a kindergarten in southwest China when a man attacked them with a corrosive chemical, state media reported. He allegedly sprayed the chemical as an act of revenge on society, Xinhua quoted police as saying. Monday’s incident is not the first school attack to take place in China. Nine students were killed at a middle school in Shaanxi province in April 2018 by a 28-year-old man who was later sentenced to death. In 2017, 11 students were injured after a man climbed over the wall of a kindergarten with a knife and began attacking them.
