Pakistan: Authorities to launch multi-phase security operation in Sindh Province from Nov. 13
Officials to launch multi-phase security operation in Sindh, Pakistan, from Nov. 13. Increased security, disruptions likely.
Authorities will launch a multi-phase security operation in Sindh Province starting Nov. 13 to combat illicit drug activities as part of their ongoing routine efforts. The operation will begin in Karachi and Hyderabad, with additional phases planned for other districts. Officials will almost certainly maintain a heightened security posture in parts of the province. Based on operational needs, authorities could implement enhanced restrictions, such as temporary public movement curbs.
Although no activist groups have as yet announced specific plans for such gatherings, demonstrations related to the security operation are possible. Potential gathering sites include government buildings, such as police stations. Clashes between activists and police, as well as between criminal suspects and law enforcement, are possible. Isolated security incidents, including arson, cannot be ruled out. Associated localized business and transport disruptions are likely.
Exercise caution if operating in or near the affected operational sites. Avoid any demonstration that materializes. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan accordingly for potential localized business and transport disruptions. Heed all official security and transport advisories.
