Initial assessments indicate that two U.S. Army soldiers, who have been missing since yesterday in southwestern Morocco, fell into the ocean from a cliff during a hike. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing a U.S. Department of Defense official. The two were last seen while participating in a multinational military exercise. According to the official, the assessment is that the soldiers went on a hike after that day's training ended. When they did not return, combined U.S. and Moroccan forces launched an operation to locate and rescue them.
