Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called an emergency meeting of the federal cabinet today (Wednesday) to assess Pakistan’s deteriorating security situation and consider key policy responses, official sources said.
According to the sources, cabinet members have been instructed to remain available for the session, although a formal agenda has not yet been shared with them.
The cabinet is expected to deliberate on important measures concerning national security, while other major political and administrative issues will also come under discussion.
The meeting comes amid a renewed surge in militant activity linked to groups operating from across the Afghan border.
On Tuesday, a suicide bombing in Islamabad killed 12 people and injured 36 others, while tensions along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border have also intensified in recent weeks.
