Two policemen were killed today when gunmen armed with hand grenades and a suicide vest stormed the Chinese consulate in the Pakistani city of Karachi, officials said.

The attackers killed the officers and stormed the building in the southern port city, leading to an intense shootout at about 9:30am local time (4:30am GMT) today. Three gunmen are dead, police said. CCTV footage has emerged showing the gunmen marching towards the building before opening fire. Senior police official Ameer Ahmad Sheikh said all 21 Chinese diplomats and staff at the consulate were safe and were not harmed during the assault or the shootout. The attack was claimed by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), a separatist insurgent group that branded Beijing 'an oppressor' and opposes Chinese exploitation of natural resources in the resource-rich southwestern Pakistani province of Balochistan.
