Overview

• The investigation describes a SEAL Team 6 mission to clandestinely install an electronic device to intercept Kim Jong‑un’s communications.
• Commandos reportedly killed civilians after encountering a small boat near the insertion point, then aborted the operation and withdrew.
• The account says the mission proceeded during nuclear talks and carried extreme escalation risk given North Korea’s artillery targeting U.S. forces in South Korea.
• The newspaper cites about twenty anonymous current and former officials, and the White House declined to comment.
• Questioned Friday, President Donald Trump said he knew nothing about the raid, even as the report states it was approved at the presidential level.
