8 people killed in violence in China's Xinjiang region

(CNN) -- Police shot and killed eight people who attacked a police station in Xinjiang, a restive region in northwestern China, authorities said Monday.

Nine people armed with knives threw explosives at the building and set police cars on fire, the Xinjiang government said on its official news website. One of the people was taken into custody, the statement said, describing the attackers as "thugs."

The violence took place around 6:30 a.m. in Yarkant County in western Xinjiang and is under investigation, authorities said.
