MUZAFFARABAD, May 3: Two Pakistani soldiers were killed and four others were injured after lightening struck an army bunker along the Line of Control in a border village of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir, officials said on Saturday.

The incident, they said, had occurred on Friday night in the Leepa Valley, some 100 kilometres southeast of Muzaffarabad.

The injured soldiers, officials said, had sustained burn wounds.

Thunderstorms had been lashing the Azad Jammu and Kashmir for the past several days, causing landslides in the mountainous terrain, disrupting traffic.

Officials and local residents said rains had also disrupted telecommunication links and electricity supply in the Leepa Valley and other areas of the Azad Kashmir.
