Sen. Mark Kelly said that a recent strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean “seems to” constitute a war crime.

Before he was a senator, the Democratic congressman from Arizona served as a Navy pilot for over two decades. During a stop by CNN‘s “State of the Union,” he expressed concern over a Washington Post report that claimed a double-tap strike carried out on Sept. 2 was a direct result of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth‘s order to “kill them all.”

“If what has been reported is accurate, I’ve got serious concerns about anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line that they should never step over,” he said. “I have so much respect for people in the United States Navy…They should be revered, and that’s why I hope what I’ve heard about this strike is not accurate.”
