A multinational search and rescue operation was launched in southern Morocco after two US service members were reported missing along the country's southern coast during annual training exercises. The soldiers were last seen near ocean cliffs at the Cap Draa Training Area, and a defence official said that initial reports indicate they may have fallen into the ocean, though no foul play is suspected.
The incident prompted an immediate halt to the multinational exercises as search and rescue assets were redirected. The names of the missing soldiers have not yet been released, and further details remain limited as the search presses on across a notoriously difficult stretch of coastline.
