Gunmen attacked the Pakistan Stock Exchange building in the city of Karachi on Monday killing two guards and a policeman before security forces killed all four of the attackers, police said.

Police said the attackers pulled up in a silver Corolla car, armed with automatic rifles, and threw a grenade at security men posted outside the compound then opened fire on a security post.

There were no reports of any wounded among the brokers and employees inside the exchange and a separatist militant group from a neighbouring province later claimed responsibility for the attack.

After the attack was thwarted, Pakistani police and Rangers found more than a dozen hand grenades, boxes of ammunition and several automatic rifles that the attackers had brought to the stock exchange.

The Pakistan Stock Exchange did not suspend trading during the attack.
