Indian occupation soldiers opened fire on demonstrators in held Kashmir on Sunday, killing one person, during protests over the shooting death of a teenager in a military operation, a police chief said. Occupation soldiers shot dead a 17-year-old man late Saturday during an operation to hunt for suspected militants in Markondal village, 25 kilometres (15.5 miles) north of occupied Srinagar, the police chief said.
Hundreds of angry villagers gathered to protest the teenager's death early on Sunday, throwing rocks at withdrawing occupation soldiers who opened fire, killing one person and injuring three others, Kashmir's police chief Abdul Gani Mir said.
"The army had laid a cordon during which a firing incident took place. One person was killed," Mir told AFP of the operation, without giving further details about the victim's identity.
