VIDEO: Details still to emerge from RAF Tain incident following Police briefing
Police and MoD still in "the early stages" of their investigation into Tuesday evening's incident at RAF Tain.
Chief Inspector Iain MacLelland divulged few details following the tragic death of a serviceman at RAF Tain in a live fire exercise.
"In excess of 20 personnel" were taking part in Tuesday's training and the site remains in lockdown, although the Chief Inspector says there's been "full co-operation" as they look for answers.
Chief Inspector MacLelland said,
"There were no other casualties as a result of this incident and their next of kin have been informed"
"Both the police and the military are providing them with support at this time and our sympathies are obviously with them in what must be an extremely difficult time for the family"
"Police Scotland are leading the investigation to establish the full set of circumstances of this incident and we are working closely with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, the Health and Safety Executive, and the Armed Forces"
"I would wish to emphasise that this incident was confined to the RAF firing range at Tain, that no persons were involved other than those military personnel participating in the exercise, and at no stage was there a threat to the wider public safety"
