Jammu: An Army soldier was injured in a landmine explosion near the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district on Monday, January 26, officials said.
The landmine exploded when the troops were patrolling a forward area in Keri, the officials said.
The injured soldier was immediately evacuated to a hospital for treatment, they said.
As part of an anti-infiltration obstacle system, the forward areas are dotted with landmines, which sometimes get washed away by rain and result in such accidents.
