At least seven people were killed and many injured when security forces in Indian-administered Kashmir opened fire on stone-throwing Muslim protesters.
Thousands defied a curfew in Srinagar and other towns in the mainly Muslim Kashmir valley for a second day. One person died in clashes in Jammu region.
The curfew was imposed ahead of the burial of a senior separatist who died after police opened fire on Monday.
Tensions are rising and threaten peace hopes after years of relative calm.
