China knife attack in Hunan's Changsha leaves six dead
A knife attack in southern China has left six people dead, local police say.
Five people were stabbed to death, and the attacker was shot dead by police, in Changsha, Hunan's provincial capital, on Friday, police said.
The attack erupted from a dispute between two vendors, which led to one vendor and four passersby being stabbed, police added in a statement.
China remains nervous after a stabbing spree in Yunnan province on 1 March left 29 people dead and 143 wounded.
However, an unnamed official in Changsha told AFP news agency: "I can assure you it's not a terror attack. It happened in a market due to some dispute."
The incident is currently under investigation, Changsha police said in a statement on their verified microblog.
