Clashes in PoK Escalate Amid Allegations of Drone Attacks and Security CrackdownPreviousNext

Protests in Pakistan-administered Kashmir's Rawalakot have intensified, with the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) alleging that Pakistani security forces used heavy weapons, live ammunition, and drone attacks against demonstrators. Reports indicate at least seven civilians killed and dozens injured amid clashes, though casualty figures remain unverified. The unrest, ongoing for months, centers on demands for political representation and economic rights. Student protests have spread to Muzaffarabad, while Pakistani authorities accuse protesters of violence. Appeals for international attention and dialogue have been made amid concerns over civilian safety.
