NEW DELHI, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- At least two soldiers of the Indian Army died and four others were injured when the truck carrying them veered off the road and fell into a deep gorge in Indian-controlled Jammu and Kashmir region on Saturday, said media reports.

According to the media reports, the two dead bodies were recovered and those injured were rushed to a local hospital. Three of the four injured soldiers were said to be in critical condition.
