In a tragic incident, three Indian Army soldiers lost their lives after their vehicle plunged into a deep gorge in the Ramban district of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday.
The accident occurred during a routine patrol along the steep and treacherous roads of the mountainous region. According to officials, the Army vehicle reportedly skidded off the road and fell into a gorge, resulting in the immediate death of two soldiers at the scene, while a third succumbed to injuries later.
Emergency response teams and local authorities rushed to the site to recover the bodies and assess the situation. The cause of the accident is yet to be determined, but poor visibility and difficult terrain are suspected to be contributing factors.
Senior Army officials expressed grief over the loss and stated that an inquiry has been initiated to ascertain the exact cause of the mishap.
This incident underscores the persistent risks faced by soldiers stationed in remote and hilly regions while carrying out their duties. The names of the deceased have been withheld pending notification of their families.
Further details are awaited as the investigation continues.
