NEW DELHI: Six army personnel were injured in a landmine explosion in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district on Tuesday.
The officials said the mishap occurred when troops were on patrol duty. They said one of the soldiers accidentally stepped over the landmine near Khamba Fort in the Nowshera sector around 10.45 am, triggering the explosion.
The injured were immediately shifted to hospital and their condition was stated to be stable.
As part of an anti-infiltration obstacle system, the forward areas near the Line of Control are dotted with landmines which sometimes get washed away by rains resulting in such types of accidents, the officials told PTI.
