Four American soldiers who went missing during exercises in Lithuania have died. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to journalists in Warsaw today, AP reports.
According to Rutte, he does not know the details yet.
"This is still preliminary data, we don't know the details. This is really terrible news, and our thoughts are with the families and loved ones," Rutte said.
An American official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said only that four soldiers had been involved in an accident during an exercise. He did not comment on the condition of the soldiers, the agency reports.
