Pakistan Imposes Emergency Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Suspends Khan's Provincial Government

Pakistan's federal government has imposed emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, suspending the provincial administration led by Imran Khan's PTI party. This action, confirmed by multiple high-confidence sources, centralizes power and is cited as a response to Islamist militancy and a breakdown of law and order, though it is also seen as a significant escalation in political confrontation ahead of elections. The situation is highly fluid, with legal challenges and potential civil unrest anticipated.
