Three Indian Army soldiers were killed and three others were injured after an Army vehicle skidded off the road and fell into a gorge in Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipora district on Saturday (4 January).

The injured soldiers have reportedly been shifted to the Army hospital in Srinagar where their condition is said to be critical.

Officials said bad weather played a role in the accident, which occurred near the SK Payen area around 2.30 pm.


"Tragically three bravehearts lost their lives in the unfortunate accident. Indian Army extends heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families," the Army said.

Last month, a similar accident in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch claimed the lives of five soldiers and left five others injured when their vehicle fell into a 300-foot gorge.
