Nine people were injured today in a knife attack at a railway station in China’s southern business hub of Guangzhou after which police shot dead one of the suspects.

The attack took place this morning. Police shot dead a suspect and caught another, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Twenty-nine people were killed and several others were injured in an attack by knife-wielding assailants, belonging to a militant outfit from the volatile Xinjiang region, at a train station in Yunnan province’s capital Kunming on March 1, 2014.
