A landmine blast near the Line Of Control (LOC) injured two Army porters in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district on Sunday.
Raj Kumar and Ashwani Kumar, both residents of Mangiote village, received splinter injuries in the explosion in the forward Kalal area of the Nowshera sector on Saturday, the officials said.
They said both the injured porters were shifted to a hospital. As part of an anti-infiltration obstacle system, the forward areas are dotted with landmines which sometimes get washed away by rains resulting in such types of accidents, the officials said.
Earlier, an officer allegedly opened fire and exploded grenades injuring at least five army personnel, including three officers in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir.
According to official sources, the incident occurred without provocation during a shooting practice session at the Neeli post near Thanamandi in the district. The officer said to be of the rank of major, opened fire on his colleagues and subordinates and then took shelter in the armoury of the unit.
