Pakistan’s ousted Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has survived a gun attack on his convoy while holding a protest march in the eastern city of Wazirabad.
According to the BBC, he was wounded in the leg when a burst of gunfire hit his vehicle. One person was killed and at least five others were injured.
There has been no immediate official comment on the motive for the attack which allies say was an assassination bid.
The protest march had been called to demand early elections.
Mr Khan, 70, was leading the march, which was meant to end in the capital Islamabad.
The former international cricket star turned politician was seen being taken to a hospital in Lahore. A party spokesman said he had been hit in the shin.
He was in a stable condition but an operation was likely, his aides have said.
