ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- A bus accident in northern Pakistan killed 27 people Saturday, including 25 soldiers, authorities said.
The two other passengers were civilians.
The bus plummeted into a ravine in Kohistan province, which is near the border with Kashmir, the military said.
Roads through the mountainous terrain are treacherous, and accidents occur frequently there.
