A member of Russia’s National Guard was killed and two others were wounded in an explosion at a training ground in central Russia, authorities said Thursday.
An explosive device “self-detonated” during shooting drills at the Dubrovichi aviation training ground in the Ryazan region, the local prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
The Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said one National Guard member was killed and two others were injured.
The law enforcement body added that it was planning to launch a criminal investigation into the incident, which took place some 200 kilometers southeast of Moscow.
No other details were made available to the public.
