Updated Security Warning Pakistan

The National Counter-Terrorism Authority (NACTA) has issued an alert of credible threats from TTP targeting the PTI protest in Islamabad on November 24. Authorities report attackers entered cities between November 19–20, with public gatherings identified as high-risk. Enhanced law enforcement measures are in place, including a vow by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi to prevent sit-ins in the capital.

Nationwide, unrest and security concerns have led to strict measures, including searches, hostel evacuations, gas station closures, bus terminal shutdowns, and Section 144 restrictions in Baluchistan. Sectarian violence in Kurram, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, continues, with over 37 killed and 100 injured overnight. Movements have been indefinitely restricted in Shakai Valley and Ladha Tehsil, South Waziristan, following targeted attacks and terrorist activities. Mobile and internet services are disrupted across Pakistan today.

Avoid protest areas, crowds, and unnecessary travel. Shelter in place where possible, and exercise extreme caution during this period of heightened tension. Violence and arrests are likely in major cities over the coming days.
