Kulgam: A fire broke out on Sunday evening, damaging two houses and two cowsheds in the Ashmuji village of Kulgam district.

Local resident Aasif Reyaz told Kashmir Images that the fire started in the evening, and as it spread, both locals and fire tenders worked together to bring the flames under control.
