The siege at Mumbai's Taj Mahal hotel is over, officials say, three days after deadly attacks struck the city.
Police commissioner Hassan Gafoor said the hotel was now under their control. "All combat operations are over. All the terrorists have been killed."
Commandos began a new assault early on Saturday aimed at ending fighting that has claimed at least 195 lives.
Commando chief JK Dutt told media three militants had been killed but his men still had to check all the hotel rooms.
Speaking to media outside the hotel, he appealed for any guests still hiding in the building to make their presence known and warned that small explosions might be heard as the clearing operation continued.
