12 Russian elite marines ‘blow themselves up’
Russia lost a dozen elite marines when they cooked food on an open fire and triggered an explosion from nearby live ammunition.
Eight more were wounded.
Reports say a RPG-7 grenade launcher shell caught fire and exploded at Kuzminsky military training ground in Rostov region, bordering Ukraine.
Eight of the marines from 155th Separate Guards Marine Brigade, based in Vladivostok, were killed on the spot.
Four more died in hospital, said the News 166 outlet in Rostov, which said the humiliating tragedy had been confirmed by three independent sources.
‘About 20 people from [the marine brigade] lit a fire next to stocks of ammunition during their lunch break. An RPG-7 grenade launcher shell rolled into the fire and exploded,’ 161.ru quoted one government source as saying.
The troops were believed to be due for deployment to Putin’s war in Ukraine.
All of those killed were said to have been marines from the Primorye region of Russia.
The dead and wounded from the lunchtime cookout have not been named.
