A significant part of this debate was fueled by reports about a classified 2019 operation involving Navy SEAL Team 6 targeting North Korea. According to The New York Times, the mission aimed to implant equipment for intercepting communications from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during nuclear negotiations. The operation allegedly went awry when North Korean vessels, believed to be unarmed civilians or shellfish harvesters, were mistakenly engaged, leading to a firefight. The SEALs then retreated undetected aboard a submarine.
