The jeep was stuck in traffic on the city‘s main M.A. Jinnah Road when they came under attack from behind, according to officials.
Police are frequently targeted by militants and criminal gangs in the volatile city of around 20 million, but attacks on the military are rarer.
The last incident occurred on November 20, when four paramilitary soldiers were killed in western Karachi while guarding a mosque.
Overall levels of militant, criminal and sectarian-linked violence have decreased significantly since paramilitary forces began a sweeping crackdown in 2013.
