A training mission involving Sweden’s elite K3 cavalry ended in a spectacular failure, when a squad blew up the doors and windows of the wrong house.

It wasn’t until after the commandos had blown up the front and back doors and all of the windows of a house that they realized that they were 200 yards from their intended target.

According to a Swedish Army spokesman:

We’ve already cleaned up after ourselves and we have, of course, contacted the owner. There’s no hard feelings between us.
