A seven-year-old boy was seriously injured by a pack of stray dogs while playing at a playground in Lima Kedai, Johor today, with injuries to his eyes, neck, head, and body.

Pandak noted that the same location had seen another incident earlier today, where an 18-year-old male was attacked by a pack of stray dogs at 6am, but the teenager managed to fend off the animals without sustaining any injuries.
