This is my former unit and I have many friends on active duty in the battalion. A very sad day.
A Norwegian soldier lost his life when a tank from the Telemark Batallion broke through the ice and sank on a lake west of Bjerkvik in Nordland late Thursday evening, during a military exercise. A second soldier was critically injured and taken to hospital in Tromsoe. Two escaped without injury.
The Norwegian Leopard-2 tank broke through the ice on a frozen bog and sank within seconds. The four soldiers were brought up from the water, two of them without injury.
No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
Norwegian and NATO Response Forces as well as units from nations belonging to Partnership for Peace (PfP) are participating in the exersice Cold Response which began on March 10th and will last till March 22nd.
