Shia Muslims took to the streets in Kargil, Ladakh, between 11:16 AM and 11:45 AM UTC on March 1, 2026, protesting the U.S.-Israel killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to an ANI report on X. Meanwhile, Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar arrived in Islamabad from Saudi Arabia for consultations on the regional situation, as stated by the Foreign Office on X. Dar, who attended an Extraordinary Ministerial Meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Saudi Arabia, will join Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and senior officials shortly for talks, per the Foreign Office post at approximately 11:30 AM UTC. This follows ongoing protests across Pakistan, including a developing situation in Karachi noted in an X post by @ahmad__bobak during the 29-minute window. These events build on earlier violence, with hundreds marching toward the U.S. Consulate in Peshawar and UNMOGIP offices burnt in Gilgit and Skardu as reported in the previous update at 11:16 AM UTC. Protests in Islamabad near the Serena Hotel and fatalities in Karachi stem from outrage over Khamenei's death, according to prior Khorasan Diary and Dawn News reports.
