The Pakistan navy says it fought off an attack on its Karachi dockyard in which two militants and a sailor were killed.
The gun battle on Saturday night is said to have lasted about six hours. A Pakistani Taliban spokesman said the group carried out the attack.
A low-ranking navy personnel member and two militants were killed, while six soldiers and an officer were wounded, the navy says.
In 2011, militants carried out a major attack at a naval base in Karachi.
A navy spokesman said four militants had been captured alive after Saturday's attack. Based on information which they provided, security agencies have detained collaborators from other parts of the country.
"No material loss took place," he said. The spokesman did not give further details about the nature of the attack or possible target.
Pakistan Taliban spokesman Shahidullah Shahid told the BBC the group carried out the attack.
