Officials said the porter, identified as Raj Kumar of Langar village, inadvertently triggered the mine at 11:30 AM while moving through a forward area in the Nowshera sector.

Sources said landmines deployed along forward LoC positions to deter cross-border infiltration occasionally get dislodged and shifted due to heavy rainfall, creating hazards for personnel and residents in border areas.
