In response, the Argentine Navy issued a statement acknowledging the error and confirming the deployment of personnel and resources to remove the solar panels. "We have transferred personnel and means to begin the removal of a solar panel installed in the territory of the sister republic of Chile, north of the Island of Tierra del Fuego," the statement read.

Earlier in the day, President Boric had insisted on the removal of the panels, warning that Chile would take action if necessary. "Borders are not something that can be ambiguous. It is a basic principle of respect between countries and therefore they must remove those solar panels as soon as possible or we are going to do it," Boric stated during a visit to Paris. Chile and Argentina share a border of approximately 5,000 kilometers (more than 3,000 miles).
