Two US service members are missing in southwestern Morocco after participating in military exercises, according to the United States Africa Command.
The incident occurred during a routine training exercise.
The US military is working to locate the missing service members, who were stationed in Morocco as part of a larger international training operation. Buffalo residents with family members in the military may be concerned about the safety of their loved ones serving abroad.
The city has a long history of supporting its military personnel, with many residents having served in the US armed forces. Veterans in Buffalo will be watching the situation closely, particularly those who have served in Morocco or other countries in North Africa.
As the situation develops, residents will be looking to see how the US military responds to the incident and what measures are taken to ensure the safety of US service members abroad.
The next step will be to see if the US military is able to locate the missing service members, which could happen in the coming days.
