An attack by knife-wielding men at a train station in Kunming in south-west China, has left 27 people dead, the state news agency Xinhua says.
Nothing is known so far about the motivation behind the attack, in which 109 people are said to have been hurt.
Xinhua gave few further details, and the men responsible have not been identified.
A local television station said several of the attackers had been shot by police, according to Associated Press.
One report quoted by AP said the men were wearing uniforms when they stormed the railway station.
Mass stabbings are not uncommon in China, but none have been recently reported on this scale.
