Three US Army soldiers were recovered dead from their armoured vehicle in a swampy area near Pabradė, Lithuania. They belonged to the 1st Armoured Brigade Combat Team. These soldiers were reported missing after their M88 Hercules vehicle was dispatched to assist another immobilized vehicle during military exercises. The search for the fourth soldier is ongoing, with local Lithuanian military and police conducting joint operations. The incident highlights the risks faced by military personnel during training exercises, especially in challenging environments.
The search for the fourth soldier continues after three US Army members were found dead when their armoured vehicle was pulled from a swampy area in eastern Lithuania.
The US Army was notified that they and their M88 Hercules vehicle had vanished in the sprawling 'General Silvestras Žukauskas' training ground in eastern Lithuania.
Somewhere on their way to that vehicle, they encountered this body of water and entered it. We know nothing past that.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte originally implied that the four soldiers were found dead, but the alliance then clarified his comments and confirmed the search was ongoing.
