An 11th Airborne Division soldier was injured during a jump while training in Hawaii Monday, Army officials said.
“The status of the injured soldier is not available at this time,” the service said in a statement.
The soldier was injured during an 11th airborne joint forcible entry exercise where hundreds of paratroopers from Hawaii and Alaska units jumped out of Air Force C-17s. The accident occurred at the Pōhakuloa Training Area, which is between the Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and the Hualalai Volcanic Mountains on the island of Hawaii.

For many Ukrainian crews, survival came down to the superior resilience of Western-supplied armored vehicles. Anti-tank mines ended up playing a crucial role in impeding and eventually thwarting the Ukrainian effort to break the land bridge to Crimea.
