Hundreds of protesters aiming to topple Pakistan's government stormed the state broadcaster's office today, blocking its transmission briefly before the army evicted them and secured the building.
Protesters barged into the Pakistan Television (PTV) network office smashing cameras and entered the control room. Over 800 protesters entered the building and they seemed to have faced no security obstacles.
Army personnel reached the headquarters of the TV station and asked the protesters to leave the building immediately.
Later, the army took control of PTV headquarters and evicted the protesters.
"PTV World and News transmission has been restored," a tweet on PTV's twitter account said.
