A Russian officer and contract soldier have died in a blast at an ammunition disposal drill in Siberia.
The Russian Defense Ministry said five others were injured in the explosion during the military drill in a field in the Zabaiksalsky region but were expected to recover, the Interfax news agency reported Friday.
A military commission has been dispatched to the Tsugol firing range to establish the causes of the incident.
