Tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians, have died in the fighting since 1989, when the armed rebellion against Indian rule erupted. Kashmir has been divided between rivals India and Pakistan since 1947, but both claim the territory in its entirety. The death of popular rebel leader Burhan Wani in a gunfight with government forces last week sparked clashes in which more than 3,000 people, including about 200 police officers, have been injured. Pakistani supporters of banned organisation Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) shout slogans alongside burning Indian flags during a protest to denounce recent violence by Indian security forces in Indian-administered Kashmir, in Peshawar on July 15, 2016Two people including a teenager were killed Friday as clashes spread in India-administered Kashmir despite a curfew, with the death toll reaching 38 in a week, officials said. As a sign of escalation following Friday's violence the resistance leadership opposed to Indian rule of the disputed Himalayan territory extended an ongoing strike for another three days.
