Nine tourists killed at mountain base camp in Kashmir
Gunmen have killed 10 people, including nine foreign tourists after storming a hotel in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
Initial reports say five are from Ukraine, one from Russia and three from China. A Pakistani is also said to have been shot.
The attack happened near the base camp of Nanga Parbat, the world's ninth highest mountain, in Gilgit-Baltistan.
It is the first such attack on tourists in the region. A Sunni militant group, Jundullah, said it was responsible.
Police had at first said 10 foreign tourists had died. The motive for the killings is not yet clear.
Reports say those killed in the attack were nine trekkers and their Pakistani guide.
One person survived the attack.
Part of the Himalayan Range, Nanga Parbat, standing at 8,126m (26,660ft) is popular with trekkers and mountaineers.
'Very remote'
The attackers stormed the hotel near the base camp shortly after midnight.
"Unknown people entered a hotel where foreign tourists were staying last night and opened fire," Ali Sher, a senior police officer, told Reuters.
A senior official said the area, in Diamer district, had been sealed off and police were hunting for the killers.
"Since the area is very remote with no roads or transport, their bodies will have to be retrieved by helicopter," he said.
President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif have condemned the attack.
Mr Sharif, who was re-elected earlier this month, said such acts of cruelty and inhumanity would not be tolerated.
Meanwhile Gilgit governor Syed Mehdi Shah is set to hold a meeting with regional law enforcement agencies on Sunday to discuss the security situation in the area, Radio Pakistan reports.
Correspondents say Gilgit-Baltistan, which borders China, had been considered one of the more secure areas under Pakistani control.
However, in recent years it has suffered a spate of attacks by militants targeting Pakistan's Shia Muslim minority.
The area is famous for its natural beauty and the main city of Gilgit is seen as a gateway to the Karakoram and Himalayan mountain ranges.

Gunmen kill nine foreign tourists and their guide in Nanga Parbat

PESHAWAR: Gunmen stormed a hotel in Nanga Parbat, a remote part of northern Pakistan, on Sunday and killed nine foreign tourists and a Pakistani guide near the foot of one of the world's tallest mountains, police and security officials said.
Five Ukrainians, three Chinese, a Russian and their guide were killed in the attack in a remote resort area near the base camp for the 8,125-metre snow-covered Nanga Parbat peak, a popular destination for adventurous trekkers, officials said.
“Unknown people entered a hotel where foreign tourists were staying last night and opened fire,” Ali Sher, a senior police officer in Gilgit-Baltistan province, told Reuters.
Sher had earlier said 10 foreign tourists were killed, but officials revised the tally as fresh reports arrived from the area.
A Pakistani militant group known as Jundullah claimed responsibility for the attack.
“These foreigners are our enemies and we proudly claim responsibility for killing them and will continue such attacks in the future as well,” Jundullah spokesman Ahmed Marwat told Reuters by telephone.
The same group has claimed reponsibility for a series of attacks on members of the country's Shia Muslim minority, in northern Pakistan, including an ambush in February 2012 when gunmen shot 18 bus passengers by the roadside.
The gunmen fled after the attack on the hotel, which took place at about 1 am on Sunday, Sher said.
A senior government official said a large number of security personnel had been sent to the area.
“Since the area is very remote with no roads or transport, the bodies will have to be retrieved by helicopter,” the official said.
Gilgit-Baltistan, which borders China and Kashmir, had been considered one of the more secure areas of Pakistan, but has witnessed a spate of attacks by militants targeting members of Pakistan's Shia minority in recent years.
It was the first time foreign tourists had been attacked in the province, which is famous for its natural beauty. Pakistan receives few foreign tourists, but a trickle of visitors is tempted by the spectacular mountain scenery in its northern areas, where the Hindu Kush, Karakoram and Himalaya mountain ranges converge.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari have strongly condemned the incident.
