Executive Summary

Suspend all non-essential staff movements in Karachi immediately. The shooting of Aafia Siddiqui's nephew in Texas will trigger aggressive anti-American protests today. Regional military escalation has already cancelled 64 flights and trapped personnel in the city. Keep teams away from the sealed Press Club and flooded Surjani Town routes. Prepare safe houses for extended use while port congestion disrupts critical supply chains.
