According to reports, the attack left the police station with severe damage. While windows and doors have been shattered, many walls have gunshot holes in them.
The fourth-floor office of the Karachi police chief was severely damaged when a suicide bomber blew himself up on the stairs next to the elevator in front of that building.
The explosion has also rendered the elevator useless, and there are pieces of crucial office equipment and documentation all over the place. The plaster and tiles on the walls have been destroyed by the explosion as well.
A video of the attack, which featured DIG East Muqadas Haider and his gunman Taimur repelling the terrorists, was also released by the Karachi police.
