A senior U.S. Navy officer will testify before Congress following a deadly incident in the Caribbean. Lawmakers from both major political parties have demanded answers about the September 2nd attack.
Admiral Frank M. Bradley is scheduled to appear before the House Armed Services Committee. Republicans and Democrats have jointly called for the hearing.
They seek a detailed account of the event, where a U.S. military vessel was struck. The attack resulted in the deaths of two American service members.
The hearing will focus on the security circumstances and the Navy's response. Admiral Bradley's testimony is expected to address these operational concerns directly.
