SRINAGAR: Three army personnel were killed when they were hit by an avalanche outside their post near the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir, officials said on Monday.
The three soldiers, including a junior commissioned officer, were killed at Roshni Post, around 120 kms here, near the LoC in north Kashmir's Baramulla district last night when they were clearing snow outside their post, a police officer said. The bodies of the three victims have been retrieved, he said.
The upper reaches of Gulmarg, where the post is located, had witnessed heavy snowfall last week.
