The US embassy in Vilnius said on Wednesday that four United States’ soldiers have gone missing in Lithuania during training, stating that the Baltic country’s military and police are searching for them together with the American military.
In a post on X, the embassy said the soldiers went missing in a training area near Pabrade in eastern Lithuania near the border with Belarus.
It, however, did not say when they went missing.
“The soldiers, all from 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, were conducting scheduled tactical training at the time of the incident. Search and recovery efforts are underway,” the Embassy said.
In a statement, Lithuania’s armed forces said they were informed on Tuesday that four U.S. soldiers and one tracked vehicle were missing.
“A possible location of the incident has been identified and a search and rescue operation is underway,” Lithuania said.
