NEW DELHI—Indian security forces killed two protesters in Kashmir Monday as a tense standoff between security forces and separatists threatened to destabilize the Indian-held territory.
Protesters in Sopore, a town in northern Kashmir, pelted Indian security forces with stones to protest the deaths of three civilians in clashes over the weekend, a senior Kashmir policeman said.
Personnel from the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force and regular local police retaliated by opening fire on the demonstrators, killing two people, said Farooq Ahmad, inspector-general of police in Indian-held Kashmir. "They came under tremendous pelting of stones. They had no alternative but to open fire," he said.
