KARACHI: A woman and two men were wounded when three rockets were fired in different parts of Karachi on Wednesday evening.
Unidentified militants had fired three rockets targeting sensitive installations including Karachi Port and Pakistan Naval Complex.
Police officials said that the first rocket fired by unidentified culprits hit the wall of a Naval complex located in Agra Taj locality of Lyari. The second rocket fell on the roof of a house in Machar Colony. The third rocket hit the container terminal of Karachi Port, destroying one container.
Extra contingent of police and Rangers rushed to sites and were busy gathering evidence.
The injured woman was shifted to Civil Hospital for medical treatment.
City Town SP Sheraz Nazeer said that the specifics of the rockets have yet to be ascertained, adding that investigators were trying to trace where the rockets had been fired from.
Some officials though suspected the rockets were fired from the nearby Sultanabad area. Officials said all three attacks were coordinated and carried out by militants to avenge the targeted operation by law enforcement agencies in Karachi and North Waziristan.
