Heavily-armed gunmen mounted a brazen attack near the Karachi international airport, within a day of a terror siege there ending in a toll of 30, media reported.

The Airport Security Force (ASF) Academy came under heavy attack by terrorists Tuesday and Geo News reported a raging gun battle.

The media report said the militants entered the airport vicinity and ambushed the ASF Academy.

Firing took place from two different locations.

The ASF Academy is adjacent to Karachi's Jinnah International Airport.

This attack took place within a day of an audacious strike Sunday night at the Karachi airport, killing 20 people and 10 militants.
