Eight people have died in an attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis on Wednesday, the interior ministry said.
At least two men armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles attacked the museum, it said.
"A terrorist attack (has hit) the Bardo Museum," ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui told Mosaique FM radio, adding that "two or more terrorist elements" took part.
An AFP photographer earlier reported hearing shots in the area.
