新华社渥太华10月18日电（记者林威）加拿大军方18日证实，该国西部艾伯塔省韦恩赖特军事基地17日发生的严重火灾由实弹训练引发。事故已造成4名军人死亡，另有39名伤者在医院接受治疗，其中至少19人情况危急。 据军方通报，17日进行的实弹训练引发了草原火灾。加军少将韦德·拉特兰表示，当时士兵们正在手榴弹靶场进行投掷手榴弹等实弹训练，并进行军方称之为“分队进攻”的战术演练。 拉特兰说，由于事发时风势强劲，大火迅速蔓延。尽管附近居民报告称火灾发生时听到爆炸声，但拉特兰表示这起事故不是由任何油气基础设施或外部因素引起的。他说，军方已派遣专业团队对相关油气基础设施进行检查，初步检查结果显示其未受损坏，但后续仍会作进一步核查。 韦恩赖特军事基地总面积超过600平方公里，是加拿大重要的联合兵种实弹训练场，设有加拿大机动训练中心、加拿大第3师训练中心等十余个驻扎单位。加拿大总理马克·卡尼18日说，这起事故是“加拿大军队和平时期在本国领土上发生的最严重悲剧之一”。
