Protesters entered the US Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, during intense demonstrations over the past hour ending at 6:46 AM UTC on March 1, 2026, according to unconfirmed visuals shared on X by @muntazireimam84 and @DrSabirplf. The unrest follows the US-Israel strike killing Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with Shia leaders having previously warned of targeting US assets. In Skardu, protesters set fire to a UN office, as reported in the same X post by @muntazireimam84, amid vows to strike US interests after declaring Khamenei a red line. Separate reports indicate severe public anger at the American embassy in Karachi, per @DrSabirplf's update within the reporting window from 5:46 AM to 6:46 AM UTC. In a related cross-border incident, Indian Army troops opened fire on a Pakistani drone that entered Indian territory along the Line of Control in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir early Sunday, officials told PTI News in a report posted on X by @PTI_News during this period. These developments build on protests in Kashmir against Khamenei's killing, as noted in prior reporting from officials cited by The Hindu.
