KARACHI, Pakistan—Pakistani police in multiple raids detained at least 1,200 Afghan nationals who had entered the southern port city of Karachi without valid travel documents, officials said Thursday.

Police and local government officials said the detainees will be deported to Afghanistan after serving their sentences or when the paperwork for their release is completed by their attorneys.
