Were US weapons used? What legal authority was there for this attack?

None that I’m aware of, it seems to be a clear violation of the War Powers Resolution/Act. US weapons wouldn’t be the issue, it would be US forces, which were used. To my knowledge without the madatory Congressional notification, and in the absence of a national emergency, we shouldn’t be there at all. I’ve not read a lot about this, you seem to imply this was a US strike, the articles I’ve seen say NATO without identifying the specific nation. Was this the US?
