Imran Khan granted bail by Supreme Court in Pakistan.

Pakistan's high court granted bail to opposition leader Imran Khan, who was arrested on corruption charges during a court hearing on Tuesday. However, his release was delayed, and his supporters continued to clash with police. The tensions have raised concerns of a potential military coup, as the army's longstanding public popularity has been shaken. The country is facing an "unnecessary crisis" at a dire moment for its economy, with the rupee tumbling to new lows and the country close to defaulting on its debts. The Sharif government will also have to decide whether to hold regional elections in two key states, in which Khan's party could make significant gains.
