Two U.S. Army soldiers were injured after being attacked by a brown bear during a training exercise in Alaska, a report said. The troops from the 11th Airborne Division were hurt Thursday while participating in a “land navigation training event” at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson’s Arctic Valley training area in Anchorage, Lt. Col. Jo Nederhoed, a spokesperson for the division, told the Anchorage Daily News. “The safety and well-being of our personnel is our highest priority,” Nederhoed added. “The incident is under investigation, and we are coordinating with local wildlife authorities to ensure the safety of all personnel in the area.”
