DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United Arab Emirates announced Wednesday that four soldiers were killed and nine others injured in an accident.

The UAE’s state-run WAM news agency carried a military statement that offered no other immediate details, simply calling the incident Tuesday night “an accident … while they were carrying out their duty in the country.”

The Emirates, home to Abu Dhabi and Dubai, has one of the strongest militaries of the Gulf Arab nations.
