Gunmen conduct a ‘coordinated terrorist attack’ across Mumbai’s major tourist hubs, with over a dozen deaths and many injuries reported.

There are emerging reports of many fatalities and at least two dozen people injured in at least seven different attacks across the city.

Local television news report at least 10 deaths as a result of the attacks. Others suggest over 25 people have died.

The APnews agency is reporting a local hospital official saying at least 25 people have been brought to the city’s G.T. Hospital near the scene of the shootings.

A British eyewitness who was caught in one of the attacks, Alex Chamberlin, said there is “no doubt in my mind” that the attacks were the result of a fundamentalist Islamic terror attack.

Local police say they consider the attacks an act of terrorism.
