Friday, November 7: The United States military has carried out another strike on a drug trafficking vessel in the Caribbean Sea, killing three men on board, according to US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Hegseth confirmed that the vessel was targeted in international waters, and described the deceased as “narco-terrorists”. He also stated that no US forces were harmed during the operation.
As we’ve said before, vessel strikes on narco-terrorists will continue until their the poisoning of the American people stops. Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization. The vessel was trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean and was struck in international waters. No U.S. forces were harmed in the strike, and three male narco-terrorists — who were aboard the vessel — were killed. To all narco-terrorists who threaten our homeland: if you want to stay alive, stop trafficking drugs. If you keep trafficking deadly drugs—we will kill you.
The incident marks the latest in a series of US military actions targeting transnational drug trafficking operations across Latin America and the Caribbean.
