Canadian Defense Secretary Magendy confirmed on the evening of October 17 local time that a serious accident occurred at the Canadian Armed Forces Wainwright base in Alberta, causing casualties. According to a senior military reporter in the Canadian media, judging from his personal experience of being directly responsible for military reporting over the past 20 years, “there have never been such major accidents” during training exercises. According to some sources, the base was conducting live fire exercises at the time of the incident, causing a fire, which spread to the area where a large amount of ammunition was stored due to the wind. Canadian Prime Minister Carney said that night that a “serious accident” had occurred at the Wainwright base and caused a fire. According to another member of the National Assembly representing the Alberta constituency, as far as he knows, an explosion and fire broke out at this base, causing serious casualties.
