- Nepal’s Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli resigned on Tuesday following violent protests, marking an abrupt end to his fourth term.
- Protests erupted after the government blocked access to social media platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, and X, citing non-compliance with new registration requirements. Although the ban was lifted, demonstrations continued due to longstanding frustration over corruption and poor governance.
- Protesters attacked and set fire to the homes of politicians, including Oli and other leaders, as well as government buildings. An indefinite curfew was imposed in Kathmandu and other cities, and schools were closed.
- Police fired live ammunition on protesters trying to storm parliament, resulting in at least 19 deaths and over 100 injuries.
