Following the September 2 attack, the U.S. military continued using disguised civilian-painted aircraft for subsequent boat strikes throughout the Caribbean and Pacific.

Question

Accepted Answer

False. According to multiple news reports, the U.S. military switched to clearly marked military aircraft for subsequent boat strikes after the September 2, 2025 attack. The military began using MQ-9 Reaper drones and other properly marked military aircraft with visible military insignia. This tactical change suggests military leadership recognized the legal problems with using civilian-disguised aircraft. However, the switch came only after the first attack killed 11 people, and the Pentagon never acknowledged wrongdoing in the initial operation. At least 115 people were killed in 35 total strikes through December 2025.
