Protests continued for the second consecutive day in parts of Kashmir following reports that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, was killed in joint attacks carried out by Israel and the United States.
Demonstrations were reported in Shia-majority areas including Bemina, Gunt Hasibhat, Jehangir Chowk, and Pulwama.
Protesters gathered in large numbers, expressing condemnation over the reported killing and raising slogans against the military actions. Security personnel were deployed in sensitive areas to maintain law and order.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation as tensions remain high in the region. So far, there have been no official reports of major violence, but precautionary measures have been strengthened.
The developments reflect the wider global impact of the escalating conflict in the Middle East, with reactions being observed in several regions beyond the conflict zone.
