Vehicle of four US soldiers missing in Lithuania found submerged in water
The soldiers went missing during a military drill during an exercise at the General Silvestras Žukauskas training ground in Pabradė, a town located less than 10km (6 miles) from the border with Belarus.
Lithuanian and foreign troops, along with helicopters from the air force and the state border guard service, were deployed to search for the soldiers.

This would be wild if it was done by russian agents to stir tensions between us and EU.
It probably isn’t. But damn.
A lot of armored vehicles are straight up deathtraps if they sink underwater. Very tight quarters, very limited ways out that are often locked down. It's hardly impossible for this to be an accident.
Except the bodies weren't in the vehicle. That would suggest that the soldiers were either killed or abducted, and the vehicle was hidden in the water. That doesn't entirely rule out an accident, but it seems less likely.
I could totally see the US blaming europeans not Russians, if this was proven a GRU operation.
I said it elsewhere, but there's literally no version of events that is too crazy for our current reality. Like if you told me the soldiers were kidnapped by North Korea because they were trying to smuggle nazi gold and the ghost of Saddam Hussein rescued them from a prison in Pyongyang, it would be the tenth stupidest news article this week.
There isn't a version of events too crazy for this timeline.
The soldiers still aren’t accounted for from my understanding.
there was a misunderstanding, Mark Rutte clarified that all 4 are still missing, no one has been confirmed to be dead yet.
