Three Indian Army troopers died and six others, including an officer and his family, were missing after a massive landslide hit a forward military post in northeastern India’s Sikkim state along the border with China, a statement from local defense authorities said on Monday.
The incident happened Sunday night after a “catastrophic landslide,” triggered by heavy rainfall, struck the army camp at Chaten in north Sikkim, around 120 kilometers (75 miles) from the state capital, Gangtok, the statement said.
