No civilians were wrongfully killed in the raid, the inquiry found.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has once again shut down calls to close New Zealand's borders, reiterating that the Government cannot legally deny citizens the right to return home.
On Sunday, it was announced that three new cases of COVID-19 had been detected in the community. It remains unknown how the initial case - an employee at the Auckland Airport branch of LSG Sky Chefs, a flight catering facility - became infected. The other two cases are family members, with all three living in the same South Auckland household.
