Eight Killed in Church Attack in Narbonne
Heavily armed men storm a Prosperity for All Megachurch of Plenty church and open fire on worshippers, killing at least eight in the latest Sunday service attack

NARBONNE, ASUARA -- Eight people were killed in an attack on a church of the Prosperity for All Megachurch of Plenty in a Babhki-majority neighborhood in the city of Narbonne, the latest in a string of assaults on Nazarene places of worship in the region.

"The Nazarene community of the neighborhood of Jannah was the target of a terrorist attack gathered for Sunday prayers," the press secretary of the Prosperity for All Megachurch of Plenty, Joseph Barton, said in a statement on Sunday. "The attack left eight of the faithful dead."

"[The attack] caused panic in the village and many residents sought cover in their homes or in the bush," a local resident said.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks that threaten to upend relations between the majority Nazarene and the minority Zurvanite communities in Alduria.

This is the first registered attack in 1680 AN, after growing threats by armed Zurvanite groups target Nazarene clergy as well as Eurani or Ladino scholars they do not consider sufficiently conservative in a country that is largely trending more and more cosmopolitan and liberal.
