An explosive device resembling a toy has killed one teenager and wounded another in the PoK close to the border with India, police said today.
The boys were herding cattle in Neelum Valley, near the Line of Control yesterday when they hit a "toy bomb" police said.
"A 13-year-old boy was killed and another was wounded when they hit a toy bomb left in the grazing area by unknown people," local police station chief Manzoor Hussain told AFP.
Local government official Abdul Hameed Kayani confirmed the incident and casualty.
In February, two children were killed after picking up an explosive device that they thought was a toy.
