Pakistan temporarily shut land borders, suspended mobile services, and tightened security for its general election.

Pakistan temporarily shut some of its land borders and suspended mobile phone services on February 8th, 2024, as it took measures to secure the ongoing general election. This decision came after two recent blasts near election offices, which killed 26 people in Balochistan, and the call by former Prime Minister Imran Khan for his supporters to wait outside of polling booths until results are announced. This move was made to ensure law and order and avoid potential threats, according to the Interior Ministry.
