Body of one missing Indian commando recovered in IIOJK
Srinagar: The body of a commando, who had gone missing during an operation in the dense Gadole forest area of Kokernag, Islamabad, in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, has been recovered.
According to Kashmir Media Service, officials said the commando is believed to have died following an avalanche or snowstorm that struck the high-altitude area three days ago.
They said the recovered commando was found with his rucksack and service weapon intact, indicating he was part of an ongoing cordon and search operation launched earlier this week in the mountainous terrain. The identity of the deceased commando has not been officially revealed yet.
The incident reportedly occurred when the team of commandos, operating under adverse weather conditions, was hit by a sudden snowstorm. Following the incident, contact was lost with two personnel.
A senior Army officer confirmed that massive search operations were continuing to locate the second missing commando.
