A massive search operation is underway for two missing US soldiers in southern Morocco, last seen near seaside cliffs during the African Lion military training exercise. According to a US defense official, the soldiers may have fallen into the ocean after going for a hike post-training. The search, which commenced late Saturday, involves US, Moroccan, and allied forces utilizing helicopters, vessels, drones, mountaineers, and divers. As of Sunday evening, the search efforts were still ongoing. The official confirmed that the incident is not linked to terrorism and appears to be an accident. The African Lion exercise is the largest annual joint military training in Africa, involving over 10,000 participants from more than 20 nations, including NATO members. This exercise is hosted by Morocco, Ghana, Senegal, and Tunisia. Notably, in 2012, two US Marines were killed in an aircraft crash during the same exercise in the region.
