NATO Exercise Leaves Four US Marines Dead

A NATO training exercise in 🇳🇴Norway has resulted in the death of four U.S. Marines. The exercise was not related to the war in Ukraine.

An MV-22B Osprey aircraft crashed Friday, 🇳🇴Norway’s Joint Rescue Coordination Centers said, according to Reuters.

“We’ve discovered an aircraft that has crashed. We’ve seen no sign of life,” Nordland police chief of staff Bent Eilertsen said. “We’ve been told it’s an American aircraft with four Americans on board,” he said.

The Osprey went down in difficult weather conditions, he said, delaying any hunt for survivors.

“It’s dark, the weather conditions are bad and there is a risk of avalanches,” Eilertsen said.

The Osprey crashed Friday evening, according to CBS. Police did not reach the site until Saturday, when a rescue crew found there were no survivors.
