Fourth missing US soldier found dead in Lithuania

Published on April 01, 2025 at 05:48 PM

The United States and Lithuanian officials said on Tuesday that a fourth US Army soldier, who together with three others went missing in Lithuania last week when their vehicle sank in a peat bog, has been found dead.

DAILY POST reported earlier that the three other soldiers were found dead on Monday after rescuers recovered the armoured vehicle of the four missing soldiers in a military training area near the border with Belarus.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, in a post on X, offered condolences to the government of the United States.

“Deeply saddened to announce that the body of the fourth U.S. soldier, who was training in Lithuania, has been found,” he wrote.

Also, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the fourth death, telling reporters at a White House press briefing that President Donald Trump and his administration were praying for all of the victims and their families.

Nauseda also thanked those who helped find the one remaining soldier still missing under such challenging conditions.

It was gathered that rescuers had spent days digging to recover the M88 Hercules armoured recovery vehicle the soldiers were using as part of an exercise at the Pabrade training ground, where US units have been rotating since 2019.
