Pakistan deploys army to quell protests over Imran Khan's arrest.

TL;DR Summary
Pakistan's government has called in the army to help end deadly unrest in the wake of the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, warning protesters against any further attacks on state installations. At least five people have died in violence after Khan was arrested in a land fraud case on Tuesday, prompting supporters to storm military buildings and ransack the residence of a top army general in the eastern city of Lahore. Other state buildings and assets have been attacked and set ablaze by protesters, and the government said on Wednesday that it had approved requests from two of Pakistan’s four provinces to deploy troops to restore order.
