Finnish authorities, including police, the Red Cross, and the armed forces, launched a search operation in Finnmark county in northern Norway this morning, October 2nd, 2025, after ten soldiers failed to return to their camp. Drones and helicopters are being utilized in the search effort, according to NRK. The operation was initiated when the soldiers did not report back to camp as scheduled this morning. The exact location of the soldiers' last known position is not yet specified, but the search is focused on the Finnmark region. The Norwegian Armed Forces have confirmed their involvement in the search alongside civilian agencies. This development follows a similar incident reported earlier today, where ten soldiers went missing near Østerdalen. While both incidents involve missing personnel, the current report specifies the search is actively underway in Finnmark county, with aerial and drone support.
