The situation in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) remained tense after reports of violent clashes between protesters and security forces, with rights groups alleging a significant rise in casualties. According to data updated by the Human Rights Council of Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir as of yesterday, a total of 80 fatalities have been documented.
