Jammu/IBNS: A forest fire triggered several landmine explosions along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district, media reports said on Wednesday.

The fire that started in a forest across the LoC on Monday spread to the Indian side in the Mendhar sector, said reports.

The same triggered the explosion of nearly half a dozen landmines that were part of the anti-infiltration obstacle system, officials told the media.

According to reports, the blaze was later brought under control with the help of the Army.

In the Rajouri district, another massive fire broke out in the Sunderbandi area near the border which spread to other forest areas, including Ghambhir, Nikka, Panjgraye, Brahamana, Moghala, reports said on Wednesday.
