More than 27 people have been killed during gun battles in the Pakistani city of Karachi.
Shootouts are continuing between rival gangs on the streets of the country's commercial capital, and hundreds of extra police and soldiers have been sent to the city in an attempt to restore order.
Despite the extra police presence, the situation remains dangerous.
The latest violence began on Friday when tension increased between opposing political and ethnic groups which are continuing to fight street battles in the centre and east of Karachi.
Almost 100 people were killed during similar violence earlier this month.
Police say gang members fired mortars during the peak of the most recent fighting.
The Pakistani government is urging all sides to stop the bloodshed.
Pakistan's Human Rights Commission says 490 people were killed in targeted killings in Karachi in the first half of this year.
