In response, large-scale search operations are underway in various areas across the Jammu division.

Authorities are currently determining whether the blast was accidental or caused by suspicious activity in the no man’s land, known to house pressure-triggered landmines.

The blast most likely occurred during the movement of suspicious persons close to the LoC on the other side in the no man’s land.
