On November 27, Islamabad woke up to scenes of destruction, with streets filled with debris, broken glass, and burned vehicles. This came after violent protests by supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who had besieged the city days earlier. The protests, which took place on November 24, led to a security lockdown in Islamabad, with highways blocked. At least six people, including four paramilitary soldiers and two protesters, were killed during the unrest. Pakistani Rangers remained on high alert, continuing to guard the city. Khan, who has been in jail since August 2023, blames the military for his 2022 removal and accuses them of rigging elections to prevent his party from regaining power.
