Eight troops were wounded during a training exercise at the US Army base at Fort Bragg in North Carolina on Thursday, the military said in a statement.
The soldiers hurt during US Army Special Operations Command demolitions training were taken by air and ground to multiple local hospitals, the statement said.
The extent of their injuries and cause of the incident were not released.
Lieutenant Colonel Rob Bockholt, a base spokesman, said he could not confirm local media reports of an explosion occurring during the exercise.
“What exactly happened is under investigation,” he said.
On Wednesday, 15 Marines were injured when an amphibious assault vehicle caught fire during training at Camp Pendleton in California, the Marine Corps said.
