Abstract
Lightning injuries are as old as mankind. Lightning injuries were described in Hindu mythology and Bible. It continues to be an enigma, and many myths are still in circulation.1 Lightning causes 1000 deaths worldwide every year and is second only to floods as far as environmental disasters are concerned. In 70% of cases the lightning injuries are non-fatal and many cases of lightning injuries are often unreported.2 Lightning affects multiple systems and sometimes difficult to diagnose unless characteristic features or eyewitness history is available. Here we report a series of nine serving soldiers hit by lightning while operating in a mountain terrain.
