Hundreds of people stormed the US Consulate in Pakistan’s port city of Karachi on Sunday, smashing windows after the US and Israeli attacked Iran and killed the country’s supreme leader, police said.
Pakistan’s Edhi rescue service has said six people were killed and several injured in riots that broke out near the US consulate in Karachi.
As we reported earlier, protesters attempted to storm the US diplomatic mission in the Pakistani city. Several people were injured as police dispersed the crowd.
Police and paramilitary forces used batons and fired tear gas to disperse the crowd, said Mohammad Jawad, a police official. At least one protester was killed and several others were wounded in clashes between protesters and security forces, he said.
The attack on the consulate came hours after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a major attack carried out by Israel and the United States.
Protesters were seen setting fire to and smashing the windows of the US diplomatic mission in the Pakistani city of Karachi.
Local sources said Khamenei’s assassination triggered the protests.
