At least 20 people have been killed and 24 others injured in clashes in Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city, local hospital officials say.

Officials from two major hospitals in the city said they had received 10 bodies each of people shot in the riots.
Dozens of cars and several shops were burnt in the riots.
