The Pentagon watchdog released its report on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's use of Signal to share details about operations in Yemen.
A favored advisor pushed to get Hegseth an extra desktop computer in his office that he could use Signal on, ostensibly for personal communications so he could more easily text friends and family from the Pentagon, the sources said.
The messages were sent the same day Hegseth shared similar details in a separate Signal chat that inadvertently included The Atlantic's editor-in-chief.
The thread reportedly included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's wife, brother, and personal attorney, as well as about a dozen top Pentagon aides.
The attacks reportedly targeted the capital city of Sanaa and an island off the coast where rebels operate.
The Associated Press reported the airstrikes killed 20 and wounded dozens of others. U.S. officials said the purpose was to eliminate a source of fuel used by the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists.
A bombing video posted by the Trump administration suggests causalities in the campaign may be higher than that. A black and white drone footage released by the administration shows a group of several dozen people gathered in a circle.
There are reports of at least one person being killed. The attacks followed a night of airstrikes Friday night.
