KARACHI: The Sindh Home Department has refuted claims of a security threat alert for Karachi and clarified that the government has not issued any such letter or notification.

“The Department of Home Affairs has learned that a fabricated notification titled Immediate Security Alert: Increased Threat Level from November 12 to 30, 2025 is being circulated on social media under the name of Additional Chief Secretary (Home),” the department said in a statement.

The statement adds that neither the Department of the Interior nor any law enforcement agency operating under its control has released any official correspondence with the reference number or title mentioned.

“All genuine security advisories, alerts and notifications are issued exclusively through official channels of the Department of Home Affairs or duly authorized law enforcement agencies,” it said.

The provincial government urged the public and the media to avoid sharing unverified information and verify such communications through official sources before disseminating them.
