At least 15 people, including 11 civilians and four security personnel, have been killed in clashes between protesters and security forces in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, according to local authorities. The unrest began after activist group Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) opposed the reservation of 12 assembly seats for Kashmiri refugees in the upcoming elections. Despite the group being banned under anti-terrorism laws, thousands of protesters continued their march towards Muzaffarabad. Security has been tightened across the region, with surveillance flights and roadblocks in place, while rights groups have raised concerns over arrests and the use of force. (PC: BBC)
