Five security personnel were killed and dozens injured in clashes between police and supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Pakistan. The violence escalated as protesters marched toward Islamabad, leading to the deployment of the army in the capital. The protest, led by Khan's wife, began on Sunday and reached Islamabad by Monday evening. Despite government efforts to block access to the city, protesters used heavy machinery to remove barriers, resulting in violent confrontations with police. Imran Khan, currently jailed, has called for nationwide protests against the government, claiming a "stolen mandate." His party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, continues to push for demonstrations despite government warnings of serious consequences.
