Five Indian Army personnel tragically lost their lives early Saturday during a tank exercise in Ladakh’s Nyoma-Chushul area near the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The soldiers were swept away while attempting to cross the Shyok River in a T-72 tank due to a sudden surge in water levels. Despite immediate rescue efforts, the high currents thwarted attempts to save them. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Army Chief General Manoj Pande expressed their condolences, lauding the soldiers' dedication. The incident highlights the dangers faced by military personnel in harsh environments.
