Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he did not personally see any survivors after the initial strike on a purported drug vessel that was later hit with a subsequent attack.
The big picture: Hegseth and administration allies have denied a report that the military conducted a follow-up strike on alleged "narco-terrorists" who survived an initial hit in compliance with a directive to leave no survivors. If substantiated, legal experts say, the orders could violate international law.
