Soldiers die in Kashmir avalamches
Two massive avalanches in Indian-controlled Kashmir have killed at least 11 soldiers, and eight others are feared trapped in a military camp that was partially buried under snow, an official said.
Colonel KS Grewal said three of the soldiers were killed in the mountainous area of Sonamarg and eight more at a large army camp in Dawar, a town close to the heavily militarised ceasefire line that divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan. Hundreds of thousands of Indian troops are stationed along the de-facto border.
