At least nine people have died after suspected militants in Indian-controlled Kashmir’s Jammu province opened fire at a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims which fell into a deep gorge, officials said.

The vehicle was carrying pilgrims to the base camp of the famed Hindu temple Mata Vaishno Devi when it came under attack in the region’s Reasi district, senior administrative officer Vishesh Mahajan said.
