Since June 5, 2026, unrest in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan, has escalated after the government blocked roads, suspended internet and phone services, and restricted media access ahead of a June 9 strike organised by the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC). At least 24 people have been killed and hundreds injured. The conflict reflects long-standing grievances over resource distribution, political representation, and regional autonomy.
Local residents have for years raised concerns over rising inflation, electricity pricing and unemployment.
