Rajouri/Jammu, May 27: Over 100 sheep and goats belonging to nomadic families were killed after they were struck by lightning in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir, officials said on Tuesday. The incident occured in the upper reaches of the Budhal sub-division, when lightning, accompanied by heavy thunder and hail storm, hit a shepherd’s camp during the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday, officials said.
