The Kosovo Security Force has reacted publicly after the Special Reporting of the Signal Journal over the serious incident taking place during military exercises at the Boka Father range, where the explosion of the 40-mile Turkish ammunition within the US automatic grenade launcher MK-19 risked the life of a Kosovo soldier.
In its official communiqué, the KSF has confirmed the incident, clarifying that the case occurred earlier during military training and that its member has suffered only minor injuries.
From the KSF stress that training with militant ammunition carries high risk to itself, but claim all precautions are taken for risk management, including individual and collective safety equipment.
And according to standards in force, The KSF reports that any activity joins the medical teams for potential evacuation, ensuring that all measures implemented are in line with NATO defence standards.
) The KSF is aware that the military profession poses in itself a high risk in fulfilling the constitutional and legal mission. However, in response to the level of activities, the number of accidents remains small because of security measures, it is said among other things in their response.
We remember that the signal published the incident in September, until sources within the military raised concerns that the same Turkish ammunition had shown defects in other previous cases.
The signal where the truth speaks before the news!
