Official: Avalanche Buries 130 Pakistan Soldiers ISLAMABAD - A security official says an avalanche has buried 130 Pakistani soldiers in a Himalayan region close to India. The incident happened early Saturday on the Siachen Glacier, where thousands of Pakistani and Indian troops are based. The security official says snow engulfed a battalion headquarters in Gayari district. He spoke anonymously because the military had yet to release a formal statement. Siachen is on the northern tip of the divided Kashmir region claimed by both India and Pakistan.
