A devastating conclusion has been reached in the search for four US soldiers who went missing during a training mission in Lithuania. Three of the soldiers have been found dead, and the search continues for the fourth missing servicemember.
The soldiers' lifeless bodies were discovered on Monday, six days after they disappeared while on a training exercise near PabradÄ—, Lithuania. The Army confirmed that the M88 Hercules armored vehicle carrying the soldiers was retrieved from a swamp on Monday morning.
According to ABC News, US Navy divers arrived at the site on Sunday night, navigating through thick layers of mud, clay, and sediment with zero visibility. After a painstaking two-hour operation, the vehicle was finally hoisted out of the bog.
The Army stated that the dive team has transitioned to a systematic search of the area, utilizing a ground-penetrating radar provided by Lithuanian experts to assist in the ongoing recovery operations.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the military community, and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the soldiers' deaths is likely to follow. The search for the fourth missing soldier continues, with hopes that they will be found safe and sound.
