On March 6, 2026, security forces in Srinagar's Lal Chowk remained on high alert as protests by the Shia community continued in response to Khamenei's death, which occurred during airstrikes on February 28. The protests have led to a complete shutdown in parts of Poonch and violent clashes in Gilgit-Baltistan, resulting in at least 23 deaths and over 100 injuries across the region. In Gilgit and Skardu, a three-day curfew was imposed to manage the escalating situation, with reports of demonstrators attacking UN offices during the unrest.
