The New York Times dropped a bombshell exposing a previously unreported 2019 U.S. Navy SEAL operation, authorizing disclosure of the mission's aim to neutralize a tactical North Korean cyberteam, however, the operation, reportedly killed several unarmed North Korean civilians. The disclosure comes at a time when Trump signals a potential reset in relations with Kim Jong Un.

The operation aimed to preemptively neutralize the North Korean cyberteam, but instead, the SEAL team killed their targets, who were civilians, including a teenager, according to multiple interviews and photographs from the scene. The operation was a failure and brought criticism from Pentagon officials who were angry that a tactical team had been used instead of a more appropriate and less volatile unit. The result was also a blow to then-President Trump's efforts to improve relations with North Korea, signaling to Kim Jong Un that the U.S. was not interested in sincere peace negotiations.

The New York Times's disclosure of this mission comes at an interesting time, as Trump's favorable rhetoric towards Kim Jong Un signals a potential reset in relations and a new approach to the Korean dilemma.
