President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he has not been briefed on the four U.S. Army soldiers missing in Lithuania after their vehicle was reportedly found submerged in water.

A vehicle carrying the four service members went missing on Wednesday during a training exercise in Pabradė, about 10 miles from Belarus, a Russian client state. In a statement, the U.S. Army revealed that the vehicle had been discovered submerged in water, but said the search for the soldiers was underway.

According to an earlier report, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte told reporters that the soldiers had been killed, but did not offer details. A NATO spokesperson later clarified to say Rutte was reacting to reports of the submerged vehicle and stated that “the details remained unconfirmed.”

A search for missing soldiers is ongoing as of Wednesday evening.
