One Navy SEAL was killed and three SEALs were wounded in a counter-terrorism operation in Yemen overnight. The New York Times reported the SEALs were from SEAL Team Six and this was the first counter-terrorism operation approved by President Trump since he took office.
During the operation, a MV-22 Osprey crash-landed, injuring two additional service members. According to the White House Press Secretary, 14 al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) members were also killed during the raid.
The Washington Post provided more details on the group of AQAP killed in the operation as well as civilian casualties. US officials have not confirmed the claims of the civilian deaths at this time.
