There are no survivors. Four American soldiers died Friday in the crash of their plane in Norway, announced the Norwegian army on Saturday March 19. The aircraft had been reported missing the day before at the end of the day, when the weather conditions were bad above Bodo, in the north of the Scandinavian kingdom.

“Nordland Police confirmed on Saturday morning that all four people on board the plane are dead. To the best of police’s knowledge, all four are American nationals. There were no more than four people on board. “the Norwegian Defense wrote in a statement.

The aircraft was on a training mission as part of Exercise Cold Response, which involves 200 aircraft and around 50 ships. This exercise aims to test Norway’s ability to receive external reinforcements in the event of aggression by a third country, under Article 5 of the Charter of the Atlantic Alliance, which obliges its members to come to the aid of one of them.
