Doha, Qatar: Ahead of major religious processions expected across Pakistan on March 10, the US embassy in the country has issued a security alert, restricting the movement of personnel at the embassy and US consulates, according to Al Jazeera.

The consulate in Karachi was attacked by protesters soon after the US-Israel war on Iran broke out, leading to a deadly pushback from security forces.

The US has since stopped all consular operations at the embassy in Islamabad, and the consulates in Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar.
