Poonch: A soldier was injured in an accidental landmine blast near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on Saturday. According to officials, the incident took place at 10:50 am in the Nangi-Takri area of Krishna Ghati sector when the army personnel were on patrol.
Officials said that a soldier accidentally stepped on the landmine, injuring him. He was immediately admitted to the hospital. Landmines have been planted in these areas under the anti-infiltration barrier system, which sometimes get washed away due to rain, leading to such accidents.
