Search and Recovery Efforts Ongoing for Missing US Soldiers in Lithuania

Four U.S. soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division have been reported missing during a training exercise near the Belarus border in Lithuania. Initial statements from NATO suggested they had died, but those reports have been retracted as the search continues. Recovery efforts have encountered significant challenges due to the complexity of the terrain where their vehicle was found submerged in a peat bog. Lithuanian authorities have announced that the mission has transitioned from search to recovery, as the soldiers have been missing for multiple days now. Meanwhile, U.S. former President Donald Trump has commented on the situation, revealing his lack of awareness about the incident. The mystery surrounding their disappearance deepens as the search continues amidst critical conditions.
