Five civilians killed in Kashmir since crackdown, says army
Deaths over past 30 days follow Indian government’s decision to strip region of autonomy
Five civilians have died in Indian Kashmir, including an 18-year-old man, officials confirmed, one month after Delhi’s decision to revoke the region’s special status.
Residents across Kashmir faced a 31st day living under a heightened military presence, without phone or internet access. A communications blackout was imposed when the Indian government stripped the region of any autonomy on 5 August.
