Jammu, Nov 1: Officials reported that on Wednesday, a landmine explosion close to the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district injured three Army Soldiers. According to the officials, who cited preliminary data, the landmine went off as the soldiers were patrolling the Phagwari Gali region in the Mendhar sector. The injured were taken to a local hospital by air, and two of them were later sent, according to the officials, to a military hospital in Rajouri for specialised care.The forward areas are littered with landmines as part of an anti-infiltration barrier system, but occasionally the landmines are washed away by rain, which leads to these kinds of mishaps, according to the officials.
