WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- Fifteen soldiers were injured by an explosion during a training accident at a military base in U.S. state of North Carolina, local media reported Thursday.

Officials said the explosion happened on one of the training fields of Fort Bragg, the largest military installation of the U.S. Army by population with over 50,000 active duty personnel.

Local reports said those injured, all of them members of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, were taken to Womack Medical Center, but it's not clear how badly they were hurt.

The incident reportedly occurred when a vehicle rolled over on a remote part of the base.
