- AJK flare-up
Tensions between the Azad Kashmir government and the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) have escalated after a trader affiliated with JAAC was shot by law-enforcers, leading to violent clashes that killed four policemen and seven protesters. The JAAC, recently proscribed by the regional administration, demands the abolition of refugee seats for those who left Indian-administered Kashmir and settled in Azad Kashmir, prompting calls for de-escalation and dialogue.
