Ten people were killed and over 30 injured in Karachi, Pakistan, when security forces and U.S. troops at the U.S. Consulate opened fire on protesters storming the compound between 7:15 AM and 8:15 AM UTC on March 1, 2026, according to a Sepah report. The incident occurred amid outrage over the U.S.-Israel strike killing Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A report from Sepah stated that crowds stormed the area around the U.S. Consulate, prompting security forces to open fire, resulting in ten deaths. Sources cited by @BalochNadir5 on X reported more than eight fatalities and over 30 injuries, adding that U.S. base administration seized the bodies. Video footage shared by @AZ_Intel_ on X showed security forces firing at protesters during pro-Iran demonstrations over the past hour. These deaths follow protesters breaching the consulate earlier on March 1, as reported in visuals shared on X during the prior reporting window ending at 6:46 AM UTC. The unrest stems from public anger after Shia leaders declared Khamenei a red line and warned of targeting U.S. assets.
