At least 19 people were killed and hundreds were injured in the deadly clash between the forces and the demonstrators, mostly youths leading what came to be called the “Gen Z” movement.

The Nepali Army appealed to citizens to stay alert and cooperate with security forces to help preserve order. Amid a surge in misinformation on social media, authorities also cautioned citizens against spreading unverified or exaggerated claims and stressed the importance of relying on credible sources.
