An unexpected incident occurred during a U.S. Marines military exercise in California when an artillery shell exploded prematurely and shrapnel fell on a California Highway Patrol vehicle. The incident occurred even though a section of Interstate 5 was closed for the exercise to ensure safety. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the incident raises questions about the safety of such exercises.
The exercise took place on the grounds of Naval Base Camp Pendleton and was observed by high-ranking figures such as Vice President JD Vance. Despite the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom, who questioned the safety of the exercise, the event went ahead. Newsom had previously ordered the closure of a 17-mile section of the highway to minimize potential dangers to the public.
A Navy spokesman said the exercise was canceled in accordance with safety protocols after the missile detonated outside the intended target area. An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the incident and minimize future risks. The Marines stressed that the exercise was safe and that closing the highway would not have been necessary.
However, the incident has reignited discussion about the safety of military exercises near civilian areas. Governor Newsom expressed concern about the decision to conduct the exercise despite the potential risks and called for a thorough investigation. The Marines assured that they will use the results of the investigation to make future exercises safer.
