Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) claimed Tuesday that the general counsel for the Department of Defense “didn’t say” there was a second strike on the suspected narco-trafficking vessel targeted on September 2 and “didn’t share all the information” when quizzed by congressional lawmakers during a previous brief on the subject.

Fallout over the mission has led legal experts to warn that the double-tap decision during the mission may have been “illegal” under international law after The Washington Post reported Saturday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly issued an order to “kill everybody” with a second strike, after an initial strike left two survivors clinging to the wreckage. Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley then reportedly carried out the order.
