On Friday, four people were killed when gunmen armed with hand grenades and a suicide vest stormed the Chinese consulate in Karachi.

At least three to four suspects arrived at the consulate in a white coloured vehicle and opened fire on the security guard. The unknown assailants tried to enter the building however; the guard retaliated and foiled their attempt.

“There were three attackers and all three were killed,” Shaikh said.
