At least 21 Indian soldiers were reportedly injured in an accident in the United Kingdom during a training exercise with the British troopers on Wednesday.
The incident occurred on Wednesday evening on Salisbury Plain, the UK's largest military training area, when three troop carriers collided.
Some of the soldiers suffered "life-changing injuries", according to British media reports.
"We had reports of four to five people with life-changing injuries and approximately 16 others walking wounded. The road traffic collision happened on a by-way which cuts through the plain, hence why we were called," a Wiltshire police spokesman told The Guardian.
The British Army stated through its official Twitter account that 21 Indian soldiers and 2 British soldiers were injured in the road accident. However, the tweet was later deleted.
