In a major strike, the Hizbul Mujahideen killed 10 Army jawans and injured 15 others by detonating a powerful IED which ripped apart a bus at Narbal near Srinagar on Saturday.

Defence spokeswoman Capt Neha Goel confirmed the death of nine soldiers. She said that the convoy was on way to Srinagar when a powerful IED struck a bus carrying 30 soldiers. Seven died on the spot while two died on way to hospital.

The injured soldiers were airlifted to Army's Base Hospital where condition of seven of them was reported to be critical. "The bus overturned and then ripped apart under the impact of the blast. The deafening sound of the blast shook the ground like an earthquake," a civilian witness told reporters.

This is the most major strike against the Army in 2008. Hizbul Mujahideen claimed responsibility.

Meanwhile, the Army shot dead five infiltrators while foiling two attempts of infiltration at Gulab post and Khanabal Kupwara.
