一名澳大利亚士兵在北领地的一次训练演习中因事故身亡,另有五人受伤。

An Australian soldier has died and five others have been injured in a crash during a training exercise in the Northern Territory (NT).

警方称,周一下午,一辆车辆在北领地达尔文市东南约130公里处的邦迪山训练区发生翻车事故。

Police said a vehicle had rolled over at the Mount Bundey training area, about 130km (80 mi) southeast of Darwin, on Monday afternoon.

28岁的布伦丹·汉纳下士当场死亡,其余五名伤者则被直升机送往达尔文市的医院救治。

Corporal Brendan Hannam, 28, was declared dead at the scene while five others were airlifted to hospital in Darwin.

该训练区是军队进行实弹训练的场所。2017年,杰森·查利斯也在此处训练时头部中弹身亡。事后,国防部承认自己未能履行工作场所安全规定并为此认罪。

The area - used by the army for live fire training - is the same location where Jason Challis was killed in 2017 after he was shot in the head during an exercise. The department later pleaded guilty for failing to comply with workplace safety.

此次事故是今年发生的第二起澳大利亚士兵死亡事件。今年5月,一名伞兵在训练时因空中相撞而丧生。

Monday's incident caused the second death of an Australian soldier this year after a paratrooper died after a mid-air collision during training in May.

国防部周二证实了这起事故,但未透露更多细节,同时请求公众尊重涉事士兵及其家属的隐私。

The Department of Defence confirmed the incident on Tuesday but gave no further details and requested the privacy of the soldiers and families affected be respected.

据澳大利亚广播公司报道,北领地首席部长莉亚·菲诺基亚罗表示,周一晚间,两名受伤士兵被直升机送往达尔文皇家医院,另外三人则乘飞机就医。

NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro said two injured soldiers had been taken to the Royal Darwin Hospital by helicopter and another three by plane on Monday evening, according to national broadcaster ABC.

“我们向失去亲人的家属致以深切慰问与祈祷。整个社区也将全力支持那些深受这一损失影响的军人们,”她说。

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family who are obviously devastated by this loss and of course, the support of our entire community is there for all of our service personnel who will be feeling this loss immensely," she said.

澳大利亚广播公司还报道称,北领地警察局长马丁·多尔已派遣人员前往邦迪山训练区,协助国防部调查此次事故。

The ABC also reported that the NT Police Commissioner Martin Dole had sent resources to the Mount Bundey training area to help with the department's investigation into the incident.

“我们目前无法说明这些士兵受伤的具体原因,但正在协助并代表验尸官展开调查,”多尔说道。

"We can't comment on the cause of the injury to the defence personnel but we are assisting and were helping to investigate on behalf of the coroner," Dole said, according to the ABC.

总理安东尼·阿尔巴内塞表示,他的心与受害者的家人和朋友同在,并补充道:“对于那些以我们国家的名义服役的人来说,没有安全或轻松的日子。2019年,在对来自维多利亚州的25岁士兵查利斯的死亡进行调查中,验尸官称这次训练练习“混乱”,他的死亡是可以预防的。

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said his thoughts were with the family and friends of the victims, adding: "There are no safe or easy days for those who serve in our country's name." During a 2019 inquest into the death of Challis, a 25-year-old soldier from Victoria, the coroner described the training exercise as "shambolic" and that his death had been preventable.

查利斯在国防部队工作经验不到一年,他在一次城市攻击演习中站在胶合板墙后面时头部和膝盖中弹。

Challis, who had less than a year's experience with the defence force, was shot in the head and knee while he stood behind a plywood wall during an urban attack exercise.

今年5月,特种空勤团士兵拉克兰·马德尔在新南威尔士州杰维斯湾机场与另一名伞兵在空中相撞后倒地身亡。

In May this year, Lachlan Muddle - a Special Air Service Regiment soldier - died when he fell to the ground after a mid-air collision with another paratrooper at the Jervis Bay airfield in New South Wales.
