Riots have killed 27 people in China's restive far western region of Xinjiang, Chinese state media report.


The incident happened in Turban prefecture early on Wednesday.


Police opened fire after a mob armed with knives attacked police stations and a local government building, Xinhua news agency quoted officials as saying.


There are sporadic outbreaks of violence in Xinjiang, where there are rumbling ethnic tensions between Muslim Uighur and Han Chinese communities.


In 2009 almost 200 people - mostly Han Chinese - were killed after deadly rioting erupted.


In April another incident in the city of Kashgar left 21 people dead.
