I think they are proceeding carefully and deliberately to avoid putting out inaccurate information.

They might have found a vehicle with 4 bodies in it. If I were to make the guess, I'd say that the four bodies were the missing soldiers, and I'd probably be correct.

Correctly and positively identifying bodies (especially ones that have been submerged for three days) takes time. So they are being prudent and only putting out information that they are 100% certain of (or at least as certain as possible). That probably won't happen until after autopsies and dental record examinations.

There's also a possibility that there are discrepencies, and they want to investigate further before publically committing to a statement. I highly doubt that is the case, but I'm including that for completeness sake.
