SRINAGAR — Pakistan Sunday said that a woman was killed after Indian troopers fired shells from across the border. Pakistan media, on the other hand, reported that Indian troops across the border opened fire and resorted to shelling in the border district of Rawalakot, killing a woman on the spot.
The media reports identified the deceased woman as Shauzia Akhtar who sustained a shot in the head and chest as she prepared breakfast in her home along the border.
