Unidentified assailants on Friday, hurled hand grenades at three places, including a school and a police station, in the Pakistani city of Karachi, injuring a policeman and triggering panic among residents.

Around five unidentified men, riding motorbikes, threw a hand grenade at the main gate of Mobina Town police station in Gulshan-e-Iqbal Town and within two hours of the attack two more hand grenades were lobbed at a bridge in Liaquatabad Town and a private school in North Nazimabad area, Express Tribune reported.

A constable, who was on duty at the police station, was injured in the attack in which, several vehicles were also damaged, police said.

The suspects fled after the attack.

A heavy contingent of police and rangers reached the sites of the attack. Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah has ordered a probe into the incident.

The attacks come days after a check-post of the Pakistan rangers (Sindh) was damaged after a home-made cracker exploded near it in the city on Sunday.
