Major Saddam Malik met with his tragic death near the LoC in the Neelam valley near Muzaffarabad last night, according to Pakistani military officials.
The major was patrolling inside Pakistani territory at the LoC when he fell into the ravine at about 11 PM.
Tensions have soared at the LoC over the past weeks with regular exchange of fire between the troops of both the countries.
Both claim that the ceasefire violations are being committed by the other.
Since then, Pakistan Army has also lost four of its men including a captain.
