Terrible news. A couple of days before Eid, imagine the grief of the families of passengers and crew. In these times of doom and gloom this had to happen too. May Allah have mercy on all those who passed away and may He give strength to the families to bear this tragic loss.

CAA confirms the aircraft was experiencing some technical issue with landing gear before landing.
The aircraft was experiencing some issue with nose gear, according to a news channel.
Cockpit crew had informed Karachi Air Traffic Control about landing gear problem
News channels showing damaging/burning houses and cars. Casualties on ground cannot be ruled out.

According to Aviation Herald:
A PIA Pakistan International Airlines A320-200, registration AP-BLD performing flight PK-8303 from Lahore to Karachi (Pakistan) with 99 passengers and 8 crew, had aborted the approach to Karachi due to problems with extension of the landing gear and performed a go around. The aircraft lost height and impacted a residential area called Model Colony on second final approach east of the aerodrome (presumably while on final approach to runway 25L) and burst into flames.
Rescue and recovery services are on their way to the crash site.
