| [DAWN] Two children were killed in an kaboom in a remote village of Azad Jammu and Kashmire (AJK), on Thursday. The kaboom also injured their mother, sister and a friend. The nature of the kaboom is yet to be confirmed. The incident took place in Chanyalan, a hamlet on the outskirts of Bagh at around 1pm. After inspecting the scene, Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Bagh Kamran Ali told Dawn that Rimsha 6 and her brother Moeed 8 were playing in the courtyard of their house with another child from the neighbourhood, Aizaz 8. Quoting eyewitnesses, including Aizaz, the SSP said Rimsha brought an empty paint can from inside the house. The bomb was placed inside the paint can. Rimsha showed the can to her brother who began chasing her. As she climbed a mud wall, she dropped the can which went kaboom!with a bang, killing both children on the spot. The children's mother Ayesha, elder sister Muqaddas and their friend Aizaz also got injured in the kaboom although their injuries are reported to not be serious, the SSP said. The SSP rejected the claims by some media outlets that the deaths were caused by a toy bomb and said it is premature to decide what kind of explosive it was. |

| #1 deaths were caused by a toy bomb We kind of kept 'bombs' out of the hands of our kids when they were growing up. Even the 'toy' ones. Of course, this is from a different culture. |
