(29 Jun 2020) Militants attacked the stock exchange in the Pakistani city of Karachi on Monday, killing at least three people - two guards and a policeman, according to police.
Special police forces deployed to the scene of the attack and in a swift operation secured the building, killing all four gunmen.
Investigators later examined a car thought to have been used by the attackers.
There were no reports of any wounded among the brokers and employees inside the exchange and a separatist militant group from a neighboring province later claimed responsibility for the attack.
  
The attackers were armed with grenades and automatic rifles, police said.
They launched the attack by opening fire at the entrance gate of the Pakistan Stock Exchange in the southern port city, the country's financial center.
  
Heavily armed special forces quickly surrounded the building located in the heart of Karachi's financial district, where the Pakistan State Bank is located, as well as the headquarters of several national and international financial institutions.
