At least 15 soldiers have been killed and 17 others seriously injured after a massive avalanche hit an Indian army training center at a ski resort township in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Senior police officer Qayoom Manhas tells 53 troops have been rescued six hours after the speeding mass of snow and ice struck the middle high on a Himalayan slope.
Manhas says rescuers are looking for two more soldiers gone and feared buried under the snow.
The accident occurred near Gulmarg, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) northwest of Srinagar, the main city in Indian Kashmir.
