Death toll from deadly avalanches hits 25 in Indian-controlled Kashmir

‘The death toll from a series of avalanches which struck Indian-administered Kashmir has climbed to 25, military sources say.
The Indian military said Monday that five soldiers pulled alive from beneath heavy snow had died of their injuries.

Sources said the soldiers had been approaching a border post along the LoC when their snow track caved in.’
