Alaska Soldiers Injured in Bear Attack

0:00Two soldiers from Joint Base Elmendorf, Richardson and Anchorage, Alaska, got injured Friday in a brown bear attack during a land navigation training exercise. They both carried bear spray and used it right away, but the bear still got to them. This base houses over 40,000 people, more than half active duty military and bearing counters aren't new there. A soldier died from a similar attack back in May, 2022, near the Anchorage landfill. Officials from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game figure it was a defensive move by a bear fresh out a winter hibernation, and they couldn't. Track it down in that remote spot. Investigations still ongoing with no word yet on how bad the injuries are, so we'll watch for updates as these troops recover. That's your update from Dallas News Today, Power by AI.
