Heavily-armed militants stormed the main airport in Karachi, Pakistan Sunday, leading to a five-hour gunbattle with police and soldiers, leaving at least 28 people dead, including 10 gunmen.

Officials say all 10 gunmen were either shot by police or blew themselves up with suicide vests.

Several security personnel were killed along with four airport staff members. Passengers were evacuated to safety and none were hurt.

Officials say the militants wore disguises resembling airport security uniforms and used hand grenades and rocket launchers to blast their way into the terminal at Jinnah International Airport.

Several large explosions were heard throughout the gunfight with police that lasted well into Monday morning.  A huge fire erupted during the clash, lighting up the night sky.

The army said the airport had been secured by dawn Monday.

The Pakistan Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack.  The militant group recently held failed peace talks with the Pakistani government.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the attackers.
