A bomb and gun attack on a Sindh Rangers facility in Karachi killed three paramilitary troops and injured four on Saturday, Pakistan's military said, as the country battles a surge in violence.
Militants from the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a faction of the Pakistani Taliban, detonated an explosive at the entrance of the Rangers camp in Karachi's Gulistan-i-Jauhar neighbourhood before opening fire on the troops, the military said in a statement.
Witnesses said they heard a loud blast followed by gunfire along a major road near several universities and Pakistan’s meteorological department.
Mohammad Bakhsh said he was praying at a nearby mosque when he heard the explosion.
