Clashes erupted in Pakistan as supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan marched towards the capital. Reports indicate that five security personnel were killed and several others injured during the violence. In response to the unrest, the Pakistani army has been ordered to "shoot on sight" to control the situation. This marks a significant escalation in the government's approach to handling the protests. Previously, protests had been met with less severe measures. The current order reflects a shift towards a more aggressive stance against Khan's supporters, who are demanding his release.
