The War Department announced the identity Wednesday of a U.S. soldier who was killed during training exercises in Iraq over the weekend.
The Pentagon identified the soldier as Sgt. Devin A. Seibel, 26, of Robinson, Texas. The department also added that the incident is still under investigation.
A British soldier was also killed during Sunday’s training incident and was identified earlier Wednesday as Lance Cpl. James Stewart Freeman, a 29-year-old soldier from the Royal Anglian Regiment. The incident occurred at an air base in Erbil, located in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq.
“The training was conducted with our British Army partners who also lost a soldier. The incident is under investigation,” a statement from U.S. Army Central said.
