The PTI protest today has drawn attention after the party said police fired tear gas and rounds at supporters of former prime minister Imran Khan. The text available for this story does not give the exact date, the city or the number of people hurt, and the party's account has not been independently confirmed in those reports.

What the reports say

Wire reports carry the same core account: police used tear gas and rounds against people backing Imran Khan, and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) said so. An update added a response from the provincial government and comments from a PTI spokesperson. The text we have does not include what either side said, so the official view of the clashes cannot be set out here.

What is not yet clear

The sources do not say how many people were injured or detained, or whether any arrests were made. The claim about rounds comes from the party, so it should be treated as unconfirmed until police or the government make a statement that is available in the record. Readers should also note that the reports do not name the exact location of each clash.
