Jammu: An Indian soldier was critically injured when he accidentally stepped on a landmine near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Jammu district on Thursday and had to have a foot amputated, officials said.
The injured soldier was taken to hospital, where his foot was amputated, defence officials said.
The area was cordoned off to trace any other explosive device there but defence officials said the mine could have "drifted" from its original place.
