KARACHI, June 23: Blue-bottles, poisonous sea creatures, stung 150 beach-goers on Clifton beach, it was learnt on Sunday.

The tiny but dangerous animal of the Squid family has “invaded the entire beach”, said an Edhi spokesman, adding that necessary treatment was provided to the victims in minor cases, while persons stung more than once were shifted to the hospital for first-aid.—APP
