Tragedy during military exercises in Australia

During live-fire military exercises at the Mount Bundey training area in Australia, one soldier was killed and five others were injured. This site has previously been involved in incidents — in 2017, a 25-year-old soldier died there from a fatal head gunshot wound, and the Australian Department of Defence officially acknowledged gross safety violations. This is the second fatal incident this year; in May, an Australian paratrooper died during exercises due to a mid-air collision.
