Protests in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir against Pakistani forces
Protests occurred in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) against Pakistani forces. In Rawalkot, Pakistani military forces reportedly opened fire on anti-Pakistan protestors, causing them to run for cover. One report states that one person was killed and several injured when Pakistan Rangers fired on protesters. Another report claims Pakistani forces fired on a crowd of 40,000 protesters, with many injured. The Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) has called for massive protests against Pakistan, with some protestors vowing a 'final march'. Meanwhile, in southwest Pakistan, militants killed 9 police officers in an attack on a post, and 15 assailants were reportedly killed in subsequent clearance operations.
