Two of the soldiers were evacuated to the hospital for medical treatment.

Following the incident, the senior combat engineering officer was instructed not to use the “infantry viper,” an explosive-filled rocket attached to a string of bombs, in engineering corps training until the end of the investigation and presentation of its findings.
