At least six people were killed after hundreds of protesters stormed the US Consulate in Karachi on Sunday, according to AP. Police said clashes broke out as officers tried to control the crowd. Several others were reported injured before the situation was brought under control.
The unrest followed joint strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran. It has triggered outrage and protests in several areas. Authorities later dispersed the demonstrators around the consulate. AP reported, security was tightened across the city to prevent further violence. Tensions remain high amid fears of wider regional escalation.
