A gun fight has erupted adjacent to a Karachi air terminal one day after militants attacked Pakistan's biggest and busiest airport, reports say.
Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Deputy Director General ASK, Colonel Tahir Ali said there were no casualties in the new attack, Dawn News reported.
However, attackers managed to flee as a heavy contingent of security forces reached Airport Security Force (ASF) camp number 2, the report said.
Flight operations resumed after being temporarily suspended, and routes leading to the airport were cleared for traffic, the Civil Aviation Authority said.
Two attackers opened fire near the ladies hostel near gate D, which is located behind the ASF camp, Colonel Tahir Ali said.
The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the second attack near the Karachi airport.
A Twitter account allegedly operated by Omar Khorasani of the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Mohmand faction tweeted on Tuesday claiming that the group has carried out this second attack.
A security sweep and search operation is underway at the ASF academy, which is located in Bhitai Abad, Pehlwan Goth.
Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) spokesperson Asim Bajwa posted on Twitter that the "chase is still on."
"Three to four terrorists fired near ASF camp, ran away. No breach of fence, no entry. Chase is on, situation under control," he posted, soon after the attack.
Initial reports suggest that the number of attackers could be between four and seven.
Following a search operation in Gulistan-e-Jauhar, two suspects have been detained by security forces.
The Director General of Rangers has reached the site to oversee the operation.
The camp is situated near the Jinnah International Airport which the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) had cleared on Monday after a long battle between security forces and terrorists that left 28 dead.
