I am pretty sure it wasn’t a miatake

The headline isn’t even accurate apparently. All the new articles out about this today with more info say that it wasn’t even US forces, it was Ecuador with the support of US hardware.

The incident reportedly took place in the remote village of San Martín in northern Ecuador. According to the newspaper’s sources, US forces did not directly participate in the operation but provided a helicopter that transported Ecuadorian soldiers to the site on March 3.

The farm’s owner and local residents deny claims that the site was used to store weapons, NYT writes. According to locals, the strike was part of a broader multi-day operation by Ecuadorian forces, who earlier that week burned two abandoned houses nearby and later dropped bombs on another building.
