- On Monday, a 13-year-old student at a school in Bistrița, Romania, stabbed and wounded a teacher and another pupil, prompting police to investigate him on suspicion of attempted aggravated murder.
- Local media reported the student posted online about his intentions shortly before the attack, including a message stating "this is it lads. I've been preparing this for 8 months."
- Education Minister Mihai Dimian wrote on Facebook that "the press reports that the student announced his attack on TikTok must be clarified by investigators" to verify the social media claims.
