A fresh avalanche hit Kashmir Valley on Tuesday, killing an army jawan in Kupwara district, a day after 17 armymen met a similar fate during a winter warfare training exercise.

The avalanche hit Tangdhar, 145 km from here, around 0345 hours trapping 14 army personnel, a defence spokesman said. All the 14 army personnel were extricated from the deep snow but one of them died later.
