Srinagar: Protests broke out at Woolina village of central Kashmir’s Budgam district after a woman was injured by a “stray bullet” from the nearby firing range of the Indian Air Force.
Reports said that some aerial shots came from the airport and landed on roofs of houses at Woolina Ichgam in which a lady identified as Fatima, wife of Late Ghulam Rasool Rather received bullet injury in her leg.
