KABUL (Pajhwok): At least 11 people have been killed and 25 more wounded after an avalanche hit members of nomadic tribe as they were crossing a mountainous area in northern Pakistan, a media report said on Sunday.
The incident took place near the Shounter Pass that connects the Gilgit-Baltistan region with Pakistan-administered Kashmir, Al Jazeera said.
Police official Ziarat Ali told The Associated Press news agency that four women and a four-year-old boy were among the dead.
The nomads were taking their herds of goats on foot from the Kel area of Azad Kashmir to Astore . . .
