Army Soldiers Hurt in Alaska Bear Attack

0:00It's April 20th. This is U.S. News. Today, AI-powered stories shaping the nation. I'm Cory with the story. Two Army soldiers from the 11th Airborne Division ran into a serious problem up in Alaska, getting badly hurt by a brown bear during a land. Navigation drill had joined based Elmendorf Richardson. This went down over the weekend on the base, where their prepping troops for tough terrain ops and officials dropped the details Sunday. The Army's on it with a full investigation, teaming up with base leaders and local wildlife experts to lock down the facts and keep everyone safe. Moving forward, both guys got fast medical attention right there. Then shipped to a hospital in Anchorage, where they're already bouncing back some. Expect them to need more treatment for a complete recovery, but the focus stays on lessons learned to dodge repeats in bear country.
