Gunmen struck a popular Tunisian beach resort on Friday, and state television said 19 people were killed. It was the second major strike in just over three months against a tourist target in the North African country.
The shooting attack took place outside a beachfront hotel in the Tunisian city of Sousse, at noontime on a hot summer day when the seaside was crowded with visitors. Sousse, about 90 miles south of Tunis, is a popular destination for tourists traveling from Europe as well as elsewhere in the country and the region.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
