There has been renewed violence in Kashmir, resulting in the killings of a teenage boy and another protester over the weekend.

Clashes in Indian Kashmir have brought protesters and security forces together in some of the worst violence in recent days.

Six people have been shot dead by security forces over a two day period in the deadly fighting in the Muslim-majority Himalayan territory.

The violence first erupted on June 11th, when a 17-year-old student was killed by a police tear-gas shell.

With many victims of violence in their teens or 20s, people in the area have been particularly angered by the latest death of the unidentified boy who was killed on Saturday.

The other protester killed on Saturday, a 30-year-old man, was shot when security forces targeted rock-throwing protesters in northern Baramulla town.

Several other demonstrators were injured in the northern Kashmiri area, with authorities trying to put a halt to the protests, even imposing a strict curfew on all major towns in the Kashmir valley.
