Clashes and Drone Attack Allegations Amid Protests in Pakistan-Administered Kashmir

Clashes and Drone Attack Allegations Amid Protests in Pakistan-Administered KashmirPreviousNext

Protests in Rawalakot, Pakistan-administered Kashmir, have escalated amid allegations of drone attacks and heavy firing by Pakistani security forces. The Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) reports civilian casualties, including three deaths and multiple injuries, and calls for an immediate halt to operations and dialogue. Pakistani authorities dispute these claims, alleging armed protesters initiated violence. The unrest has spread to Muzaffarabad, with student demonstrations supporting the JAAC's demands for political representation and economic rights. Independent verification of casualties and drone activity remains pending.
