The two soldiers died during a training accident involving two Stryker vehicles.
Two soldiers from Fort Bliss were killed in a Tuesday night training accident involving two Stryker vehicles, a military spokesman told Newsweek.
The spokesman did not identify the two individuals who died and said an investigation was ongoing. A press release said that they were from the 1st Armored Division.
Local media outlet KFOX14 reported that seven other people had been injured during the incident. The official who spoke to Newsweek said that military personnel had not yet confirmed the number of individuals injured.
The fatalities follow a number of other military deaths this month.

Army Green Beret Sergeant 1st Class Joshua Beale, a 32-year-old from Carrollton, Virginia, died after being shot in the neck on Tuesday while conducting an operation against the Taliban.
