The U.S. Army soldiers went missing last week during a training exercise with Lithuanian armed forces and law enforcement.

NATO walked back its claim that the four United States soldiers missing in Lithuania had died. On Wednesday, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced that four U.S. soldiers who had gone missing during a training exercise in Lithuania had died.

The bodies of three U.S. Army soldiers have been found nearly a week after they went missing in Lithuania during a training exercise, officials said.
