Pakistan imposes three-day curfew in Gilgit, Skardu cities after violent Khamenei protests

ISLAMABAD: Authorities have deployed troops and imposed a three-day curfew in the northern Pakistani cities of Gilgit and Skardu, officials said on Monday, after more than a dozen people were killed in clashes over the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in US-Israeli strikes. Pakistan’s northern Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) region, where the two cities are located, saw violent clashes on Sunday as protesters set fire to and vandalized several buildings, including United Nations (UN) regional offices, army-run school, software technology park and an Aga Khan Rural Support Programme office.
