A Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) and three soldiers were injured in an accidental explosion near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district on Tuesday, officials said.
The incident occurred in the Kalal area of the Nowshera sector when an Army patrol was carrying out an area-domination exercise close to the LoC. According to officials, the explosion was triggered after a landmine was accidentally activated during the operation.
The injured personnel were immediately evacuated and shifted to a hospital for treatment. Their condition was not immediately known.
The latest incident comes days after two Army personnel lost their lives in a separate accidental explosion in the Uri sector of Baramulla district in north Kashmir.
