Thousands of people have taken to the streets in Pakistan-administered Kashmir amid escalating tensions that have left at least 15 people dead in clashes between protesters and security forces, according to local authorities and eyewitness accounts.

The demonstrations reportedly began over long-standing political and economic grievances, before escalating into violent confrontations in several areas.

Security forces were deployed in large numbers as protests spread across multiple towns, with officials stating that efforts were made to restore order and prevent further casualties.

Witnesses described scenes of chaos as clashes intensified, with reports of stone-throwing, road blockades and the use of crowd-control measures by security personnel.

Authorities confirmed that fatalities occurred during the unrest, though details about the circumstances of each death have not yet been fully clarified.

The region has experienced periodic unrest in recent years, driven by demands for greater political rights, economic development and administrative reforms.

Human rights organisations have called for restraint from all parties and urged an independent investigation into the reported deaths.

Local officials have appealed for calm, warning that continued violence could further destabilise the region and hinder dialogue efforts.

Political analysts say the scale of the protests reflects deep-rooted dissatisfaction among sections of the population, particularly younger residents facing unemployment and limited opportunities.

The situation remains tense, with additional security forces deployed and communication restrictions reported in some areas.

Further updates are expected as authorities assess the situation and investigate the causes of the deadly clashes.
