3 of 4 U.S. soldiers missing in Lithuania found dead, Army says
Three U.S. soldiers who had been at the center of a recovery mission in Lithuania for nearly a week after their armored vehicle sank in a body of water were found dead Monday, the Army said. Efforts were continuing to find the fourth soldier.
The soldiers’ identities were being withheld pending notification of their next of kin, the Army said in a statement Monday. The three soldiers found Monday were assigned to the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division.
The soldiers went missing last Tuesday while conducting a mission to repair and tow an immobilized tactical vehicle.
The soldiers’ armored recovery vehicle was found by the Army and Lithuanian authorities submerged in a body of water Wednesday.
Lithuania’s President Gitanas Nausėda expressed his condolences to President Trump and the U.S. on social media.
“@realDonaldTrump, Lithuania mourns together with the American nation,” Nausėda said on social platform X. “Please accept my heartfelt condolences, as well as those of the Lithuanian people, to you, the loved ones of those who lost their lives, and all the people of the United States of America. During this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with you.”
