Pakistan's former PM Imran Khan has been shot and wounded during a protest march in the eastern city of Lahore, in an apparent assassination attempt.
Members of his PTI party said another four people were hurt on Thursday - but no-one was killed.
It was not clear whether he had been hit in the foot or leg, but an aide was quoted as saying he was not in danger.
Mr Khan, 70, was leading the march on the capital Islamabad to demand snap elections.
A senior aide told AFP news agency: "This was an attempt to kill him, to assassinate him."

But was it politically motivated?

it's crazy when you think of all the political assassinations & assassination attempts that took place this year

Also happens to be their most famous sportsman. Hope he survives

Sounds similar to how Shinzo Abe was killed.

Definitely politically motivated. Unsure whether it was a lone gunman or if someone in power was behind it though. Generally people in Pakistan are for him, not against him, so the latter seems likely

Whoever orchestrated this massively fucked up by not ensuring he was going to die
