Overview

  • Hundreds of pro‑Iran demonstrators breached the outer area, smashing windows and reaching the driveway before police pushed them back with tear gas and batons.
  • Hospitals and the Edhi Foundation reported bodies with bullet wounds and dozens of injured, while media tallies put the death toll between six and ten.
  • Authorities restored control around the compound and tightened security across cities, with road closures in Karachi and restrictions near Islamabad’s Red Zone.
  • Protesters burned a United Nations office in Skardu, as additional rallies were reported in Lahore, the Iraqi capital’s Green Zone, and Indian‑administered Kashmir.
