POK Protest: Pak Army Opens Fire On Protesters In Rawalakot, Killing 16 Amid Growing Unrest

Описание: A major confrontation has unfolded in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir after Pakistani Army personnel and Rangers allegedly opened fire on a large gathering of protesters in Rawalakot. According to reports, at least 16 demonstrators were killed and more than 37 others injured during a rally against rising electricity tariffs, inflation and what residents describe as the denial of basic political and economic rights.

The incident has intensified unrest across POK, where protests have been growing in recent days. Demonstrators are demanding affordable electricity, subsidised wheat and rice, improved public services and greater democratic rights. Authorities have responded with arrests, internet restrictions and tighter security measures.

The latest violence has triggered fresh protests in multiple towns, with residents condemning the crackdown and demanding accountability. Protest leaders insist the movement will continue despite the casualties. India has also reacted strongly, describing the killings as a massacre and calling for international attention to the situation.
