(UDHAYAM, COLOMBO) – Seven Hindu pilgrims, six of them women, have been killed in a militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir after their bus apparently got caught in crossfire.
The bus was returning from the Amarnath Cave pilgrimage site in the Anantnag District when the attack took place.
Police told the BBC the target appeared to be a nearby counter-insurgency base.
The attack, which also left 19 injured, is likely to heighten tensions in the disputed region.
