The terrorists opened fire on a bus that was ferrying pilgrims from the Shiv Khori cave shrine in Reasi district. The incident took place near Teryath village at 6.10 pm.

“We received reports that militants were lying in wait and they fired on the bus, which had left Shivpuri and was on its way to Katra. As a result, the driver lost control and the bus fell into a gorge. Rescue operation has been completed—nine people are dead, and the 33 injured have been hospitalised. The people (on the bus) are not locals, but their identities are yet to be confirmed. So far, we’ve learnt that they may be from Uttar Pradesh,” Reasi Senior Superintendent of Police Mohita Sharma said.
