The deceased included nine members of Tableegi Jamaat, who were staying at a nearby local mosque, and two army troops, local broadcaster Aaj News reported, quoting officials of Azad Kashmir Disaster Management Authority.
The incident took place in Leswa town of Neelam Valley -- a famous tourist destination -- near Line of Control, a de facto border that divides disputed Kashmir valley between Pakistan and India.
The couple was on the Bear Creek Trail on Flagstaff Mountain when the bolt struck him around 1 p.m., according to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office. Another hiker spotted the couple an alerted authorities.
Initial investigations from the scene show that the man was struck directly in his upper body, and his wife was injured from "ancillary electrical current from the strike that hit her husband," the sheriff's office said.
Experts tracking one of the world's biggest icebergs, dubbed A-68, that broke off from Antarctica two years ago, claim it has been on the move, covering over 155 miles towards South Georgia after rotating 270 degrees, reports MailOnline.
A geography professor at Swansea University in Wales and glacier expert Adrian Luckman have published an animation of the glacier's movements between 6 January, 2018 and 10 July 2019 on his blog.
"For an object weighing around one trillion tonnes, Iceberg A68 appears to be quite nimble," Professor Luckman wrote.
Comment: Considering that the global climate has been cooling - so much so that the cold is killing Antarctica's summer moss - it's more likely that the unusual behaviour of the ice sheets is due to the rise in volcanic activity worldwide, and that includes those under the sea and near the poles:
- Bristol Island volcano off Antarctica active for the first time in 60 years
- Scientists observe ice thickening above 'inactive' volcano in Antarctica
- NASA study finds volcanic magma plume under Antarctica may explain ice sheet instability
- Particles coming from the ground in Antarctica have physicists puzzled
- NASA discovers huge perfectly rectangular iceberg floating in Antarctica

The first was a waterspout tornado over Old Wives Lake near Moose Jaw around 1 p.m.
"Sometimes you can get a special type of tornado that forms over water but in this case, I think it was probably just a tornado that just happened to go over the water," meteorologist Dan Fulton said Saturday morning.
Two more tornadoes touched down near Rockglen. One was northwest of town near 4 p.m. for an unknown length of time, the other was south of the community around 4:30 p.m., lasting for about five minutes.
The United State Geological Services reported the quake happened at about 7:50 p.m., and that tremors could be felt within a 180-mile radius from the center.
"It rattled the dishes pretty good," said Marie Westphal, co-owner of Sir Scott's Oasis Steakhouse in Manhattan. "Nobody hurt, no damage or anything like that, but it was like, 'Holy cow, that was a pretty good jolt.'"
Westphal guessed that the quake lasted five to 10 seconds.
An official said that lightning struck Ambpathri-Hocksar Wakhalwan pastures of Poshkar Wangat area resulting into death of around 220 livestock including sheep and goats.
He said that no loss of human life was reported in the incident as the shepherds of the flock were putting up away from spot where the incident took place.
Comment: There appears to be conflicting accounts as to the cause of the fatalities, another report puts them down to flash flooding:
