A Spanish soldier died on Monday afternoon during NATO military exercises at the Bemowo Piskie training ground in Poland. The information was reported by El Mundo, which cites sources from the Spanish Ministry of Defense.

The accident occurred during a live-fire exercise at the training ground, 65 kilometers south of the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad.

The corporal, 43, was in Poland to participate in the exercise 'Saber Strike', part of the 'Steadfast Defender 24' maneuver, which also involves other allied countries.

The man leaves behind two daughters, was a native of Ecuador, and joined the army in 2004.

The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has already expressed his condolences to the "family and friends" of the deceased, condolences that he extended "to the entire family of the Army".
