"Two Romanian Ministry of National Defense soldiers were critically injured on Monday, May 18, during a routine munitions disposal accident near Botoșani, Romania. The sudden explosion and ensuing fire occurred at a munitions destruction range when the technicians were working to dismantle 26 mm signaling cartridges.
The two technicians were identified as 36-year-old 1st Class Corporal Daniliuc Dan Florin and 31-year-old Private Anton Andrei. Due to severe burns and respiratory tract injuries, both men required immediate intubation and mechanical ventilation.
Because of the critical nature of their injuries, the Ministry of National Defense (MApN) expedited their medical evacuation. A Romanian Air Force aircraft transported both soldiers to the specialized 'Regina Astrid' Military Hospital in Brussels, Belgium, for intensive burn treatment.
Military officials have launched an internal investigation to determine the exact technical or procedural failures that led to the accidental detonation.
