Srinagar, Dec 12 (IBNS): Two more soldiers have gone missing, taking the number to five, after avalanches hit two Army posts on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, police said on Tuesday.

Two soldiers went missing in Kupwara district's Nowgam sector on Monday evening and three others disappeared on Tuesday morning in Bandipora district's Gurez sector.

Rescue operations are underway to trace the soldiers who may be buried under snow, said the official.

Gurez, which is on the Line of Control, is about 150km from state capital Srinagar.
