Three Pakistani rangers killed in Karachi attack, Dawn newspaper ... June 27 (Reuters) – At least three of Pakistan’s Sindh Rangers personnel were killed in an ​attack on the paramilitary forces ‌headquarters in Karachi, the Dawn newspaper reported on Saturday. An explosion and gunfire were reported on a major Karachi road ‌near ​several universities and ⁠Pakistan’s meteorological department, ⁠Pakistani media reported. Three militants were also killed in the attack on the local Sindh Rangers headquarters, Sindh ​Inspector General Javed Alam Odho told Dawn. A Reuters reporter at ⁠the scene said ⁠firing had ended and ​the situation was calm. This is ​the most notable attack in Karachi ‌since an explosion targeting a Chinese convoy in October 2024 which killed two Chinese nationals. Attacks in ⁠Pakistan’s major cities have become increasingly rare in recent years but a surge in ⁠militancy ‌in regions bordering Afghanistan ⁠has raised concerns that ​violence ‌could return to the urban ​centres.
