At least 10 pro-Iranian protesters were killed in clashes with police as they tried to storm the gates of the US consulate in Pakistan’s main port city of Karachi on Sunday.
Security forces opened fire at the consulate, resulting in the deaths of 10 protesters, with 34 injured, said Sukhdew Assardas Hamnani, a spokesman for the Sindh government. “The police reached the site and took the situation into control,” he said.
Faisal Edhi, who runs Edhi Foundation, a rescue service, said several of those injured were in a serious condition and the death toll could rise further.
Police opened fire on the protesters who were attempting to break into the US consulate in Karachi, Edhi said.
Local media reported that hundreds of people had gathered at the building on Sunday morning to condemn the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in coordinated attacks by the US and Israel.
