A Navy officer was shot dead in Karachi on Monday, Express News reported.

Unidentified armed men riding a motorbike targeted Ghulam Akbar on Shahrah-e-Faisal and left him critically injured. Akbar was being taken to a hospital for medical assistance when he died on the way.

Earlier in April, the driver of a Navy officer was shot dead in the city. The driver suffered five to six bullet wounds, making police officials suspect the incident was a targeted attack. It was not clear, however, if the driver was the intended target of the attack or the Navy officer.
