At least one soldier was killed and two others were seriously injured in a landmine explosion near the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir’s Nowshera district on Thursday.
After the blast, the soldiers were immediately airlifted to the command hospital in Udhampur, according to sources.
‘A seriously injured soldier died on the spot. Two soldiers have been immediately airlifted to hospital for treatment,” they said.
The incident happened when the Armymen were out on a patrol and one of the soldiers stepped on the landmine, accidentally triggering it.
The incident comes two days after a forest fire in Jammu and Kashmir’s Balakote and Mendhar areas caused several landmines along the Line of Control to explode on Tuesday.
