A man was injured in his back by a bullet and sought medical assistance at a hospital, the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) said on June 16.

The 42-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound on June 15 and a bullet slug was lodged in his left lower back, the police said on June 16.

His injury is not life-threatening, added the police, with the man currently in a stable condition after surgery to remove the bullet.

The man had been cycling with his friends at around 11.40am on June 15 within a restricted area of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR) — between the Upper Seletar and Upper Peirce reservoirs — that was gazetted for Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) live-firing, said a Mindef spokesman.

His friends took him to the National University Hospital.

An SAF authorised live-firing exercise at its Nee Soon Range was ongoing about 2.3km from the site where the man was injured.

Live-firing activities at the range have been suspended.

Under the Military Manoeuvres Act, unauthorised individuals are not allowed to enter gazetted areas designated for SAF live-firing for their own safety, said Mindef.

The area has signs warning against unauthorised entry, said the police.
