US Military Aircraft Used Secretive Platform for Precision Strike at Sea

The New York Times reports that the US used a secret aircraft to carry out a precision strike at sea in the Caribbean. Citing officials briefed on the mission, the NYT says the aircraft was painted to look like a civilian plane and had no external weapons visible on the wings. Munitions were fired from inside the fuselage. The article draws attention to the unusual configuration of the aircraft and raises questions about whether this approach risks violating international law.
