According to Thai media, including Kaosod News, two soldiers were seriously injured when an explosion occurred at a venue commemorating Thailand's Armed Forces Day on the morning of the 18th.
The accident occurred after the 17th of the 21 salutes prepared.
According to the video, an explosion was seen in the back of the 105mm cannon, and two soldiers standing next to him collapsed.
Immediately after the accident, a military ambulance waiting came running and transported the soldiers.
One reportedly has symptoms of arm amputation and concussion, and the other is in hospital treatment.
The Thai army chief consoled the two affected soldiers and temporarily halted the use of the same shell that caused the explosion.
The incident is similar to the tragedy that occurred in India in October last year.
At that time, two Indian Army trainers were killed and an instructor was injured when a shell exploded during a field shooting exercise.
