What happened
The federal government imposed emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This action was taken amid deteriorating law and order, though some observers suggest the decision was aimed at establishing greater military control over the region. The emergency declaration also grants the army complete control over the province's mines and minerals.

Why it matters
The move by Field Marshal Asim Munir is viewed as a test case for the military establishment. If successful, the army may undertake similar exercises in other mineral-rich provinces, including Balochistan and Sindh, to assert control over their natural resources.
