In a heartbreaking incident on Tuesday evening, five Army soldiers lost their lives, and five others were injured after their vehicle veered off the road along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.
The soldiers were traveling when the vehicle, for reasons still under investigation, skidded off the narrow mountain road. Local security forces and emergency responders rushed to the site, providing immediate medical assistance to the injured personnel, who have been evacuated to a nearby military hospital for treatment.
The tragic accident has cast a shadow over the area, where the security forces remain on high alert due to the volatile border situation. Authorities are investigating the exact cause of the incident, and further updates are expected soon.
The names of the deceased soldiers are being withheld pending notification of their families. The Army expressed deep condolences for the loss and is providing all necessary support to the affected families.
