The accident occurred near the Line of Control during an operational convoy, with officials ruling out any terror involvement.

An Army vehicle carrying 18 soldiers skidded off the road and plunged into a 150-300 foot gorge in Poonch district on Tuesday evening.
Five soldiers lost their lives, while five others sustained injuries, with one in critical condition, and are receiving medical care at a field hospital.
