Six Soldiers Injured in Landmine Blast in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri

The incident occurred during a routine patrol near Khamba Fort in the Nowshera sector, with all injured soldiers reported to be in stable condition.

The blast happened at approximately 10:45 AM in the forward areas of Nowshera, near the Line of Control (LoC).
The injured soldiers, part of the Gorkha Rifles unit, were conducting a routine patrol when one soldier accidentally stepped on a landmine.
All six injured personnel were immediately transported to a hospital, where their conditions are reported to be stable.
Landmines are commonly placed in forward areas near the LoC as part of an anti-infiltration mechanism, but heavy rains can displace them, increasing the risk of accidental detonations.
Officials are continuing to monitor the situation, and further updates on the incident are awaited.
