Italian soldiers wounded by friendly fire at NATO exercise in Latvia

Original: Four Italian soldiers were wounded by friendly fire during a NATO live-fire exercise in Ādaži, Latvia. An Italian Dardo

Four Italian soldiers were wounded in a friendly-fire incident during a NATO live-fire exercise at Ādaži, Latvia. An Italian Dardo armoured vehicle accidentally fired a machine-gun burst at another Dardo carrying the soldiers. The wounded troops were taken to a hospital in Riga. The incident raises questions about safety procedures during multinational exercises on NATO's eastern flank.

Why now: Friendly fire injuring NATO troops during a live-fire exercise near Russia's border draws attention to military safety and tensions in the region.
