Raga News Zone | Jammu & Kashmir
At least 10 Indian Army personnel were killed and 10 others injured after a military vehicle plunged into a deep gorge in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district, officials said. The tragic accident occurred in a hilly area while the vehicle was part of a routine movement.
According to officials, the army vehicle lost control while navigating a narrow mountain road and fell into a gorge several hundred feet deep. Rescue teams, including Army personnel, local police, and disaster response units, were immediately rushed to the spot despite challenging terrain and weather conditions.
The injured soldiers were evacuated to nearby hospitals and army medical facilities, where several are reported to be in critical condition. Senior army officers have reached the area to oversee rescue and relief operations.
Initial reports suggest that poor road conditions and difficult terrain may have contributed to the accident, though an official inquiry has been ordered to ascertain the exact cause. Authorities said the area is known for steep slopes and sharp turns, making travel risky.
The tragic incident has cast a pall of gloom over the armed forces. Condolences have poured in from across the country, with leaders expressing grief over the loss of soldiers and wishing a speedy recovery to the injured.
The Army has assured all possible assistance to the families of the deceased personnel and said further details will be shared after the completion of the investigation.
