Security forces opened fire on Tibetan protesters in western China on Monday, wounding at least 32 people and killing at least one, two Tibetan rights groups and the Tibetan exile government said.

It was the largest violent confrontation in ethnic Tibetan areas of China since 2008. The incident was also the second reported shooting of Tibetan protesters in the past week and a half. Free Tibet, a group based in London, said tensions remained high after the shootings in Luhuo, near the border with Tibet. The official Xinhua News Agency had no report on the latest incident.
