Protests in Kashmir halt after nine deaths in clashes

At least 28 people have died since protests erupted in Pakistan-administered Kashmir on June 4, with renewed violence reported during clashes on Tuesday, resulting in nine fatalities. Tensions have escalated as the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee, leading the protests, faces government crackdowns following its designation as a terrorist organization. Protesters, numbering between 3,000 and 4,000, await a planned march to Muzaffarabad, while authorities have deployed around 4,000 police and paramilitary personnel to manage the situation.
