A soldier and a police officer were also wounded during the clashes.Police said a young woman was killed in crossfire.“One young woman died in the crossfire when one of the militants came out of a house today (Tuesday) and started firing at the security forces,” Khan added.Some witnesses claimed the woman was killed by police during the demonstrations, not in crossfire, though this could not be independently verified.Tensions were already high in held Kashmir after a taxi driver was gunned down during an army operation Saturday evening.
