India, Jan. 28 -- A massive avalanche struck the Sonamarg tourist resort in Jammu and Kashmir late Tuesday night. The avalanche hit the resort area in central Kashmir's Ganderbal district at around 10.12 pm on Tuesday, according to officials.

Despite the intensity of the snow slide, authorities confirmed that there were no reports of casualties, according to news agency PTI.

Chilling footage of the avalanche emerged online. One video, shared by PTI, shows a calm, quiet valley before a huge cloud of snow suddenly sweeps through the area.

In the CCTV video, streets and buildings can be seen engulfed by what appears to be a thick wall of snow within seconds. No people are visible on the roads at the time.
