Official sources told the news agency from Leh town of Ladakh region that an exercise of tank warfare was going on in the Daulat Beg Ode area near the line of actual control (LAC) today.

A stream which was being crossed by the tanks during this exercise suddenly got flooded due to cloudburst in the higher reaches.

Daulat Beg is situated in the Old Karakomar range. There is also an army base here. Army personnel were swept away in the river by flash floods near LAC in Ladakh, officials said.
