Search Continues for Missing U.S. Soldiers in Lithuania
The search for two missing U.S. Army soldiers in Lithuania continues, with dive teams and engineers now involved in the effort. The soldiers were reported missing during a training exercise near the town of Pabrade, close to the Belarusian border. Lithuanian authorities, along with U.S. military personnel, are working tirelessly to locate the soldiers, who were part of a larger group participating in a routine training mission.
Details about the circumstances of their disappearance remain scarce, but it is believed that the soldiers may have encountered difficulties during a water-based training segment. The involvement of dive teams suggests a focus on aquatic search areas, while engineers are likely assisting with technical aspects of the operation.
The incident has heightened concerns about the safety of military training exercises abroad, prompting a review of protocols and procedures. The U.S. Embassy in Lithuania is coordinating closely with local authorities and the families of the missing soldiers, providing support and updates as the search progresses.
