Three attackers then tried to storm the Chinese consulate.

"One of them was still killed outside the consulate, the two others got into the consulate's visa department and were killed there," Police chief Ameer Sheikh declared.

Video from Pakistani channel Geo TV show thick black smoke in the area, apparently from the first explosion. Around the consulate are also other Asian embassies like the one of Russia and India.

Police cordoned off the area soon after the first gunshots could be heard.

A separatist rebel group, the Balochistan liberation army, has claimed responsibility for the attack. They accuse the Chinese of stealing Pakistan’s resources.

Karachi, Pakistan's largest city and a financial hub, was for years rife with political, sectarian and ethnic militancy. A crackdown in the city by security forces in recent years has brought a lull in violence, but scattered attacks still take place.
