A mishap during a military parachute exercise injured at least 22 soldiers at a major training ground for U.S. troops. About 650 soldiers were taking part in a night parachute jump at Camp Shelby in Mississippi. The military says a plane missed the drop zone, sending paratroopers crashing into trees in a forested area. The injured soldiers were assigned to Alaska’s fourth brigade combat team.
