White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has confirmed the tragic death of a fourth U.S. soldier during military drills in Lithuania. The U.S. Army has identified three of the fallen soldiers—Sgt. Jose Duenez, Jr., Sgt. Edvin F. Franco, and Pfc. Dante D. Taitano—but the identity of the fourth remains undisclosed. The soldiers were part of Operation Atlantic Resolve and stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia.

00:00I want to start today by addressing the U.S. Army soldiers who went missing while conducting
00:05a mission to repair and tow an immobilized tactical vehicle in Lithuania in the early
00:11hours of March 25th.
00:13Tragically, three soldiers were found deceased in Lithuania yesterday, and it pains me to
00:19confirm that today, the fourth soldier was also found deceased.
00:23The President, the Secretary of Defense, and the entire White House are praying for the
00:28victims' friends and family during this unimaginable time.
00:32This is another stark reminder of the selfless sacrifice of our brave military men and women
00:37who risk their lives around the world every day to keep us safe.
00:40God bless them.
01:58You have no data on the U.S. soldiers that went missing in Lithuania?
02:26I have.
02:27Can you give us an update?
02:29So three are no longer with us.
02:33And one is unfortunately probably in the same category, but they haven't declared that yet.
02:40It was a very heavy truck, like I told you, but I mean, really heavy, that lifted the
02:44heaviest equipment.
02:47It would seem that the bank of a lake collapsed, you know, the weight is so big.
02:52And it was at night, and it was very cold weather, ice, a lot of ice.
02:56And it's possibly slipped, and the weight is so enormous of this thing.
03:01It's a massively heavy vehicle.
03:05And if they slipped a little bit, that's probably what happened, and it flipped.
03:11And three are gone.
03:15And one is missing.
04:16Don't miss out.
