Asia-Pacific3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported20m ago
The Pakistani government has declared a state of emergency in the northern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The federal presidency announced the decision following a series of protests and ongoing militant activities in the region. The measure effectively grants the federal government expanded authority and control over the province.
The federal administration justified the move by citing the provincial government's alleged failure to adequately address terrorism. The province is currently governed by the political party of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, and the federal cabinet described the situation as a deliberate disengagement by local leadership from security efforts.
