As promised, the Pentagon has released a newly declassified video from the two-hour raid that led to the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Our Kim Da-mi has the details.
Armed guards lined up along the wall of Baghdadi's compound fall to the ground in the blink of an eye under airstrikes and explosions.
Aerial footage released on Wednesday show U.S. commandos approaching Baghdadi's compound, along with aerial strikes by U.S. F-15 fighter jets.
MQ-9 Reaper drones then completely blow up the hideout.
"These fighters opened fire on our aircraft, and what you see in the video is the actual response. With the assault force surrounding the compound. We repeatedly urged those inside to come out peacefully."
General McKenzie, who oversaw the U.S. raid, added that the compound "looks like a parking lot with large potholes right now."
Following collection of samples for formal DNA analysis, Baghdadi's remains were buried within 24 hours of his death in accordance with Islamic tradition and religious rites.
Two children under the age of 12 died with him when he detonated a vest bomb.
McKenzie, however, noted that he couldn't confirm that Baghdadi was "whimpering and crying" like a dog in his final moments like President Trump mentioned in his televised address on Sunday.
