About six people have died after a boat taking children to school capsized on a river in Indian-administered Kashmir.

Three children are still missing, according to local media outlets while a woman and her two children are among the dead.

The boat was being used to ferry people across the river, propelled by its crew pulling on a rope that was tethered to either bank.

Recent heavy rainfall in the region had caused water levels to rise and the current to increase in strength, which led to the incident.

The search operation is still underway.
