TBILISI, Georgia — Three soldiers in Georgia’s army have died after a grenade exploded during a training exercise.
Defense Ministry spokeswoman Salome Makharadze said 13 other soldiers were wounded in the blast at the training ground in Krtsanisi near Tbilisi.
She said the Tuesday explosion was due to an unspecified “technical mistake.”
The soldiers were part of a squad that was soon to be deployed to Afghanistan.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
