KARACHI: Three people have been injured in the Agra Taj Colony area of Lyari as the operation against criminal elements continues.
Earlier when the early morning operation began, rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) were fired at security personnel during an early morning search operation in Lyari’s hostile pockets.
Sources say when the police, backed by Frontier Corps, tried to penetrate the strongholds of warring gangsters during the predawn hours they were met with severe resistance.
A volley of RPGs and heavy arms' fire forced the security personnel to retaliate, sources added.
“The thunder of guns shook us out of sleep only to plunge us into fear”, a local resident told Geo News.
Shots fired form both sides took toll on the vehicles, which were being used as covers as shards of shattered windscreens could be seen all over the place in the battle zone, said an eye witness giving an account of the armed combat.
