Karachi, Pakistan (BBN)-Attackers managed to flee as a heavy contingent of security forces reached Airport Security Force (ASF) camp number 2, which came under a fresh attack on Tuesday, DawnNews reported.
A security sweep and search operation is underway at the ASF academy, which is located in Bhitai Abad, Pehlwan Goth in Karachi.
Heavy firing was reported at the ASF camp in the metropolis on Tuesday after unidentified men entered the premises.
Initial reports suggest that the number of attackers could be between four and seven, DawnNews added.
