Call for Independent Investigation by Pentagon and Congress, Demanding Transparency
Senator Rick Scott (R-Florida) also announced an investigation into the incident, making it clear that the US military does not intend to harm civilians. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) emphasized the necessity of investigations not only by the Pentagon but also by external objective bodies and Congress. He stated that while the incident appears to be more than a mere mistake, he acknowledged the possibility of it being an unintentional accident. He demanded immediate disclosure of information regarding the type of missile used (presumed to be primarily Tomahawk missiles) and the cause of the targeting error. He also urged for the immediate release of preliminary reports, expressing deep concern over the failure to immediately disclose information to the American public.
