    What's the story

    Four Indian Army soldiers were killed after their truck skidded off the road and fell into a gorge in Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipora district on Saturday.

    The accident took place near the SK Payen area.

    "A vehicle of Indian Army skid and fell into the gorge due to inclement weather and poor visibility conditions. Injured soldiers were promptly evacuated for medical care with assistance from Kashmiri locals, for which we express gratitude toward the citizens," the Army said.

    Past incident

    Accident echoes previous tragedy in Poonch district

    Three of the soldiers died in the unfortunate accident, while the fourth one died hours later due to the injuries he sustained.

    This incident is similar to a tragedy that struck last month in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district.

    In that accident, five soldiers were killed and five others injured when their truck fell into a 300-foot gorge.

    Condolences extended

    Leaders express sorrow over tragic accidents

    The accidents have evoked condolences from a number of leaders, including Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

    Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also expressed his grief over the incidents.

    In a statement, Gandhi said, "I pay my heartfelt tribute to the martyrs and hope for the speedy recovery of the injured soldiers. My deepest condolences to the bereaved families."
