A huge avalanche buried seven Indian soldiers on Tuesday while they were clearing snow from an army supply road in the mountains in Kashmir near India's cease-fire line with Pakistan, the army said. Rescuers with sniffer dogs and a helicopter retrieved the body of one paramilitary officer, but another paramilitary soldier and five army soldiers were still missing hours after the morning avalanche, police was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. "As the soldiers were clearing snow, a massive avalanche buried them," army spokesman Lt. Col. J.S. Brar said, adding that more snowfall Tuesday had hampered the search effort.
