Four marines have been killed at a military base in California while clearing an exercise range of unexploded devices.
The sweep for explosive material took place at about 11am on Wednesday at Camp Pendleton in San Diego during a routine maintenance operation.
That usually involves the detonation of ordnance, officials said.
An investigation was launched and no further details have been released.
The identities of the dead were being withheld pending notification of relatives.
"We offer our heartfelt prayers and condolences to the families of the marines lost today in this tragic accident," said Brigadier General John W Bullard, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations West at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
"Our first priority is to provide the families with the support they need during this difficult time."
The deaths come about eight months after a mortar explosion killed seven marines during a live-fire training exercise in Nevada.
A military investigation determined human error was to blame for that accident.
