Polish Soldier Dies After Training Exercise Accident

Polish military training on Patriot air defense missile systems at the airport in Warsaw

A tragic incident occurred during a military training exercise in Poland, resulting in the death of a Polish soldier. The soldier was seriously injured when a military tracked vehicle ran over two soldiers during a drill at a test range in Drawsko Pomorskie, in northwestern Poland. Regrettably, one soldier lost their life in the accident, while the other sustained severe injuries and was immediately airlifted to a hospital for medical treatment.

The 1st Warsaw Armored Brigade, to which both soldiers belonged, confirmed the devastating news that the injured soldier passed away at a hospital in the city of Szczecin on Wednesday. This unfortunate event has raised the death toll to two, leaving the military community and the nation in mourning.

Authorities emphasized that the tragic deaths were not related to any ongoing NATO exercises taking place in Poland. The incident serves as a somber reminder of the risks and dangers that military personnel face during training operations, highlighting the importance of stringent safety protocols and measures to prevent such accidents in the future.
