Avalanche hits Indian army post; 10 feared dead
Officials say 10 Indian soldiers are feared dead after an avalanche hit a military post on the Siachen Glacier in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir.
The avalanche hit the military post Wednesday in the northern part of the glacier, trapping the soldiers under a mass of snow.
Since then, army and air force teams have been searching for the soldiers, army spokesman Col. S.D. Goswami said. He said the chances of finding survivors are “very remote.”
