Twenty-Two Killed As Mob Storms US Consulate in Pakistan
Violent clashes erupted across Pakistan following the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by U.S. and Israeli forces, leaving at least 22 people dead and over 120 injured. Protesters attempted to storm a U.S. Consulate in Karachi and attacked U.N. and government offices in the north. Authorities deployed troops and used tear gas to disperse demonstrations in several cities, including Islamabad and Peshawar. The Pakistani government expressed condolences to Iran and urged citizens to protest peacefully while law enforcement worked to control the escalating violence.
