ISLAMABAD, May 29 (Xinhua) -- At least nine people were killed and 16 others injured after a passenger van fell into a ditch in Muzaffarabad of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, local media reported on Saturday morning.

Police told media that the dead, including three children, and the injured have been shifted to the hospital.

The ill-fated van was heading towards Chakothi sector of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir from Rawalpindi district of Pakistan's eastern Punjab province, according to the reports.
