An Army man sustained injuries in a landmine explosion near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district on Thursday.
Officials said the soldier sustained injuries to his left foot and was evacuated to a military hospital for treatment.
They said Rifleman Mohammad Asif Rather, a member of a patrolling party, accidentally stepped on a landmine in a forward area of the Balakote sector in Mendhar sub-division of Poonch at around 5 pm today.
The forward areas are lined with landmines as part of an anti-infiltration obstacle system but heavy rains sometimes displace them, leading to such accidents.
Earlier on February 11, two Army men including a captain were killed and another injured when an improvised explosive device (IED), believed to have been planted by suspected terrorists, exploded near the Line of Control (LoC) in the Akhnoor sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
The troops were on patrolling duty when they were hit by the IED near a forward post in the Bhattal area.
