Two army jawans were killed, and one critically injured when an explosive charger attached to a tank detonated during a field firing exercise at Mahajan Field Firing Range in Bikaner on Wednesday.

The incident occurred at the range's North Camp during standard military training operations. An explosive charger is a device that loads and detonates explosives. The mishap raised serious concerns about safety protocols being followed, as it was the second such incident in past three days.

On Dec 15, a 31-year-old havildar lost his life at the same firing range during a similar exercise. Lunkaransar circle officer Narendra Kumar identified the soldiers killed on Wednesday as Havildar Ashutosh Mishra and Havildar Jitendra Kumar.
