At least five people have been killed after gunmen attacked a terminal at Pakistan's Karachi international airport.

Militants armed with automatic weapons and grenades are engaged in a firefight with security personnel, according to police.

Dr Seemi Jamali of Jinnah Hospital said five bodies had been taken there, as well as one wounded person.

Three of those killed were airport security staff, and two were civilian employees of Pakistan International Airlines.

Television footage showed what appeared to be a major fire and plumes of smoke rising from the runway where planes are parked.

All flights are currently suspended.

The terminal targeted by the fighters is said to be used for VIPs and cargo.
