HeadlineJul 19, 2016

Indian soldiers fired on demonstrators in Kashmir on Tuesday, killing three people, amid ongoing protests in the disputed territory. The protests began nearly two weeks ago after Indian security forces shot dead Kashmiri independence activist Burhan Muzaffar Wani. India has imposed a curfew, banned some newspapers from printing, and blocked mobile phone service in Kashmir amid the ongoing protests. At least 42 people have now been killed since the protests began.
