At least 15 people, including a woman, were killed and several had been injured in the violence that erupted overnight in Karachi, Hyderabad and other parts of Sindh, DawnNews reported.

Terror gripped Karachi as a number of localities in the city descended into violence Wednesday night soon after senior provincial minister Zulfikar Mirza heaped scorn on Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain.

Several vehicles were set ablaze on Thursday and incidents of firing were reported in different parts of Karachi. The affected areas included Baldia Town, Gulshan-i-Iqbal, Gulistan-i-Johar, Orangi Town, Jahangirabad, Golimar, Korangi. – Photos by Sumera Adil
