RESCUERS have pulled out nine more corpses, including five belonging to soldiers, from a mass of mud and snow that struck a remote part of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, taking the overnight death toll to 12, a military statement says.
Bodies of three soldiers were recovered earlier on Friday, just hours after the incident in the Kel area close to the de facto border dividing the disputed Himalayan region between India and Pakistan.
A search continues on Saturday for nine other people, three of them soldiers, buried in the rubble, according to the brief statement to reporters.
Details of the incident remain unavailable, but news reports initially said a landslide crashed into a border outpost. An 18-member team carrying out a search and rescue operation was then caught in a subsequent fall.
In April, 140 people, nearly all of them soldiers, were buried under a wall of snow and boulders that struck a major Pakistani military base on the disputed Siachen Glacier. Military teams have so far dug out more than 120 bodies. Efforts to recover the remainder are ongoing.
