At least four members of the Pakistani security forces have been killed and three others wounded in a bomb explosion near a paramilitary complex in the southern port city of Karachi.
The bomb detonated near the headquarters of the Rangers paramilitary forces in the Korangi area of the city late on Wednesday when the security officers were returning from duty.
“It was a bomb blast, the target seems to be a van carrying soldiers,” said police official Karim Khan.
Police forces have cordoned off the site of the explosion and the casualties have been taken to the Jinnah Hospital in the city.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the blast.
