After a brief exchange of fire, militants took a refuge inside a home where civilians, including women, were also trapped. Khan said the woman was killed in the crossfire.

However, locals said that several men and women rushed to the house where the militants took shelter and asked soldiers to give them safe passage. The residents said troops were not letting some of the women leave.

"We're negotiating with the civilians," Khan said.
