Canada's Defence Minister Reports Deaths, Injuries Following Incident At Military Base
"I'm saddened to share that there have been both fatalities and injuries as a result of an incident on the base", McGuinty said in a press statement.
Earlier, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said that a serious incident had triggered a massive fire at a military base in Alberta.
"A serious incident creating a major fire has occurred at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Wainwright in Alberta”, Carney stated in a social media post.
Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, described the fire as "significant and tragic", noting that it has affected several military personnel.
Neither Smith nor Carney provided any details regarding the cause of the fire.
This incident coincides with an upcoming vote scheduled in the province, a process that could potentially lead to a push for independence from Canada.
