Clashes in Kashmir (31 photos)

At least 30 people have died after violence broke out following the death of a separatist leader in the Indian-controlled region of Kashmir. Burhan Wani, 22, was a popular leader for the group Hizbul Mujahideen, which advocates for the Muslim-majority region to secede from India. Authorities placed a curfew and restricted phones and the internet, according to the Wall Street Journal, to prevent the spread of demonstrations. Hundreds have been injured.
