Gunmen stormed a hotel in northern Pakistan and shot dead 10 tourists, including Chinese, Ukrainian and Russian nationals, police officials said on Sunday.
The gunmen targeted a hotel in a town in Gilgit-Baltistan that serves as the base camp for mountaineers headed for Nanga Parbat, the world's ninth highest peak.
The attack took place late last night in the remote region.
Deputy inspector general of police Ali Sher told reporters that the armed men barged into a hotel and killed tourists from different countries.
He confirmed that 10 tourists were killed. Police have cordoned off the area and launched a hunt for the killers.
