Pakistani Protestors Burn Historical Chinese Fighter Jet Monument

A Pakistani crowd protesting the arrest of former president Imran Khan on corruption charges set fire to a monument celebrating China-Pakistan military cooperation.

It is unclear whether the incident was meant to send an anti-China message or if the plane was collateral damage in the protests.
