STORYLINE
Gunmen killed 12 people in Karachi on Tuesday, the latest attack in a surge of violence that has gripped Pakistan's largest city.
According to Pakistan's Geo News, unidentified armed men opened fire in the Kabari market in the Sher Shah area of the city.
Among the 12 killed were both shopkeepers and shoppers, Geo News said.
A number of people were injured in the incident.
According to the Sindh provincial government and police, at least 44 people, including several political activists, have been killed and another 48 wounded since Saturday in the southern port city.
The violence coincided with Sunday's election to replace a provincial lawmaker killed in August.
Karachi, a vast metropolis with more than 16 (m) million residents, is prone to political, ethnic and religious strife.
Because of its status as the country's main economic hub, keeping Karachi calm is of prime importance to Pakistani leaders who have already seen criminal activity soar alongside Taliban-led Islamist militant violence.
The two parties most linked to violence in Karachi - the Muttahida Quami Movement and the Awami National Party - have their electoral bases in different ethnic groups that make up a large share of Karachi's population.
The MQM claims to represent the Urdu-speaking descendants of those people who came to Karachi from India soon after the birth of Pakistan in 1947.
It is secular and likes to speak out against the so-called "Talibanisation" of the city, a jab at the Awami National Party, which represents the ethnic Pashtuns from the Taliban heartland in the northwest.
Raza Haider, the member of the provincial assembly who was gunned down in August, was a senior member of the MQM.
Both parties were competing for Haider's vacant seat, but the ANP announced late on Saturday that it would boycott the election, saying the MQM would rig the vote.
The MQM won the seat.
