Jammu, Jan 3 (IANS) A woman was killed and eight other people were injured Saturday in Pakistani shelling along the international border in Jammu and Kashmir's Samba and Kathua districts, police said.

The eight injured were being treated in the same hospital in Jammu, a police officer told IANS.

Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party activists carried out a protest march in Jammu against the Pakistani shelling.
