The Indian army has said there is little chance of finding alive any of the 10 soldiers who went missing after an avalanche struck the Siachen glacier in Indian-administered Kashmir.
A spokesman said rescuers searched the site for a second day on Thursday.
The avalanche hit the high-altitude military post on the northern side of the glacier on Wednesday morning.
Siachen is patrolled by troops from both India and Pakistan, who dispute the region’s sovereignty.
It is known as the world’s highest battlefield. Four Indian soldiers were killed by an avalanche in the same area last month.
