4 US soldiers who went missing while training in Lithuania are dead, says NATO chief
2025-03-27
[IsraelTimes] A vehicle used by four US Army soldiers that went missing yesterday afternoon in Lithuania has been found submerged in water and the search for the missing soldiers is continuing, the US Army says.

“The M88 Hercules armored recovery vehicle the four missing US Soldiers were operating during a training exercise, has been located in Lithuania,” it says in a statement.

While on a visit to Warsaw, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said earlier today that the soldiers had died but that he did not know any details.

Lithuania’s military writes on social media X that it is continuing an “intensive” rescue operation and has no information confirming the deaths.

The soldiers had been training near Pabrade in eastern Lithuania near the border with Belarus, the US Army says.

“We regret any confusion about remarks @SecGenNATO delivered on this today. He was referring to emerging news reports & was not confirming the fate of the missing, which is still unknown.”
