The group of “violent knife-wielding assailants” attacked the local public security bureau in Yarkant County near Kashgar with bombs at around 6.30am on Monday morning, according to the provincial online news portal Tianshan. The Xinhua news agency referred to the attackers as “terrorists”.
State media have not identified the men. The restive Xinjiang province has seen a series of attacks in recent months by members of the Uygur ethnic minority
Monday’s attack occurred about two hundred kilometres southwest of Kashgar’s Sayibage Township, where 16 people died in another clash between Uygurs and police two weeks ago.
Some 850,000 people live in Yarkant, according to government figures, 96.3 per cent are Uygurs.
Calls to the Yarkant county administration and its police department went unanswered on Monday morning........
