Following the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei by a U.S.-Israeli airstrike, violent protests have erupted across Pakistan, resulting in at least 22 deaths and 88 injuries. The most severe clashes occurred in Karachi, where 10 people were killed and 48 injured, with six in critical condition. Protesters attempted to storm the U.S. Consulate, leading to a heavy police response involving tear gas and baton charges. In Islamabad, three protesters were killed, and in Gilgit-Baltistan, nine fatalities were reported amid escalating violence. Authorities have made multiple arrests and placed major cities on high alert, with Karachi's Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar emphasizing that 'No one will be allowed to take the law into their hands.'
