Villana, Lithuania (AP) – Lithuanon officials said on Monday that a armored vehicle from the United States disappeared in Lithuania had been recovered from a swamp after the search for six days, but there is still any information about the fate of the four American soldiers who were on board.
“The armored vehicle was moved to the beach at 4:40 am, and the trailer was complete, and the American military police and American researchers continued their work,” Defense Minister, Dofili, on a Facebook site, on Monday morning.
The US Army reported that the soldiers were in the huge general training exercises of Silvestras žukauskas in the city of Babadi when the army and their car disappeared in the early hours of Tuesday.
“In order for researchers to have more details, we need to maintain calm and focus, and take into account the sensitivity of the situation and the fears of the families of the soldiers,” said šakalien on Facebook.
He explained to reporters that the first information about the fate of the soldiers will be provided by the US Army.
The soldiers, all of them from the first brigade, the third pedestrian department, participated in tactical training when they disappeared.
Hundreds of Lituanian and American rescuers and rescuers participated in the search through dense forests and swamps around Babadi, which does not exceed 10 kilometers (six miles) to the west from the border with beamorusia. The M88 armored Hercules vehicle was discovered on Wednesday at 4.5 meters (15 feet) of water.
The army said that the large -scale recovery process began, but “water, thick clay and soft floor around the site have complicated the recovery efforts and required specialized equipment to drain water on the side and fix the land” to be able to remove a 70 tons vehicle on the beach.
