"Thirteen protesters were injured in clashes when they resorted to heavy stone pelting at the security forces to obstruct the operation against hiding militants.
"An injured youth identified as Adil Farooq Magrey was taken to Shopian district hospital for treatment where he succumbed to his injuries," said a source.
Reinforcements have been rushed to the area as the clashes intensified following the death.
