Six attackers with explosive devices were killed by police in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on Monday morning, local authorities said.
There were no police or civilian casualties, according to report. According to reports, the incident was triggered when residents of Shule county, which is near the ancient Silk Road city of Kashgar, noticed a suspicious person carrying an explosive device. They called the police, who opened fire after the attacker tried to attack an officer with an axe and detonate the device.
When the police were handling the suspect, another five attackers attempted to ignite explosive devices attached to their bodies. They were killed by the police on the spot.
