The US military carried out another deadly strike on alleged drug-traffickers at sea on Saturday, continuing a monthslong campaign by the Trump administration that has been widely criticized as likely illegal.
The latest strike targeted a boat in the Caribbean Sea and killed three people on board, according to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Caribbean, Hegseth announced on X with an unclassified video of the strike.
Hegseth said three men, whom he identified as narco-terrorists, were killed in the operation, which he said was carried out in international waters. No US forces were harmed in the strike, he noted.
