> Pakistan’s federal government has imposed emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, removing the elected chief minister’s powers after talks with Imran Khan’s PTI collapsed. The move follows planned protests calling for Khan’s release from jail, where he faces charges his supporters describe as politically motivated. Islamabad points to worsening security along the Afghan border and alleges most attacks originate there; PTI accuses authorities of suppressing political opposition.
