Assailants armed with knives attacked several people on a
street in Hunan province in central China on Friday morning, state-
run Xinhua news agency reported.
The news agency said its reporters saw at least one body lying on the
ground.
The attack took place in Changsha city, the capital of the province.
Local media reported at least four people were killed in the attack,
carried out by five assailants. But the Xinhua report did not mention
a casualty toll.
Earlier this month , 29 people were killed and 130 were injured in
terrorist attack. Eight men armed with long knives stormed a train
station on March 1 in the southwest Chinese city of Kunming in
Yunnan province.
Four of the attackers were fatally shot by police; the other four
arrested.
Members of a separatist group from Xinjiang, in northwest China, are
believed to have carried out that attack, authorities said.
