A woman and her two children were tragically killed in a house fire early Monday morning in Kishtwar district, Jammu and Kashmir. The victims have been identified as Nazia Begum, her daughter Amina, and her son Rizwan.

The fire broke out around 4:30 am at the residence of Khursheed Ahmad in Badhat-Jashar village, Drabshalla. The family was asleep when the blaze engulfed their home, and they were unable to escape in time.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, though it has not been determined yet. In a separate incident, a fire also damaged a Gujjar Bakerwal boys' hostel in Chatroo, Kishtwar, late Sunday night, though no injuries were reported.
