Reports have emerged of gunfire being heard on Friday night in the city of Rawalakot, located in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A resident from the Darek area of \u200b\u200bRawalakot, speaking on the condition of anonymity, stated that around 8:00 PM, hundreds of protesters were present at Umar Farooq Chowk, chanting slogans, while security forces were engaged in continuous firing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to this individual, two drone strikes were also carried out by the security forces at Umar Farooq Chowk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further claimed that two civilians had lost their lives at the Rawalakot bus terminal due to alleged firing by security forces; however, this claim could not be independently verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, a senior government official, also speaking on the condition of anonymity, stated that an exchange of fire is ongoing at two to three locations in Rawalakot. However, according to the official, no reports of any casualties have been received thus far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that on November 5, three civilians were killed during an operation conducted by security forces. Their funeral prayers were held today at 3:00 PM at the Darek Eidgah in Rawalakot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
