At least seven people have been
killed in an attack on a tourist hotel in the Tunisian resort town of
Sousse, according to the Interior Ministry.
At least one gunman has been shot dead, a security source told Reuters news agency.
Sousse is a popular tourist destination.
Tunisia has been on high alert since March when militants killed 22 people, mainly foreign tourists, in an attack on a museum in the capital Tunis.
The Interior Ministry told the BBC "a terrorist attack" was ongoing and there were casualties, but did not give any more details.
