A Serb from Sydney spoke out: Sirens are sounding, dozens wounded

Vladislav Obrenović from Sydney spoke to Blic TV about how the situation in Sydney looks now after the shooting, what the atmosphere is like among the citizens and what the public's first reactions are.

- The area around Archer Park is definitely blocked, the police are everywhere and apparently the situation has calmed down, at least as far as the shooting is concerned. At the moment, a counter-sabotage search is being carried out because, apparently, were also planted bombs somewhere on the beach and we are looking for where they are. I live relatively close to that beach, and have been told to avoid that area, however, as I said, it is such a large area that it is impossible to issue such an instruction. There are so many people returning home now that it is impossible to close everything. Sirens are heard non-stop, because I am also close to the hospital, they are probably transporting the wounded, of which there are dozens - he said.
