At least 31 people have been killed and a total of 1,365 have sustained injuries in the continuing clashes in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, sources in the country's home ministry told Sputnik on Tuesday.

NEW DELHI (Sputnik) — Clashes broke out between protesters and security forces in the region after last week's killing of local militant leader Burhan Wani.

​Wani was killed by Indian security forces in a shootout on Friday, according to AP.
