A New York Times report reveals that US Navy SEALs killed several North Korean civilians during a 2019 mission to plant a listening device. The operation, reportedly approved by President Trump, went awry in the dark, resulting in SEALs opening fire on civilians they encountered. Sources say the SEALs disposed of the bodies to conceal the incident. Trump denied knowledge of the mission, while North Korea has yet to comment.
