10 Army Personnel Killed in J&K Gorge Accident
A big Army truck carrying 17 soldiers was going on a mountain road in Jammu and Kashmir.
The driver lost control, and the truck fell into a very deep valley.
Sadly, 10 soldiers died, and 7 got hurt.
Some were taken to the hospital for treatment.
The Army and police worked together to help everyone.
This shows how dangerous it can be for soldiers working in tough places.
At the same time, there was a fight between soldiers and terrorists in another part of Jammu and Kashmir, where some soldiers were also hurt.
10 Army personnel died and 7 were injured when their vehicle skidded off a road and fell into a 200-foot gorge in Doda district, Jammu and Kashmir.
The bullet-proof Army vehicle was carrying 17 personnel when the driver lost control on the Bhaderwah–Chamba interstate road.
Rescue teams, including the Army and local police, quickly responded and evacuated the injured, with three in critical condition airlifted to Udhampur military hospital.
The accident highlights the risks faced by security forces operating in difficult terrain and harsh weather conditions in the region.
Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha expressed condolences and directed officials to ensure the best possible treatment for the injured.
