"Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, two lethal kinetic strikes were conducted on two vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations, Hegseth said. He added in a social media post on X: Both strikes were conducted in international waters and 3 male narco-terrorists were aboard each vessel. All 6 were killed. No US forces were harmed. Under President Trump, we are protecting the homeland and killing these cartel terrorists who wish to harm our country and its people."
"US forces struck two more alleged drug trafficking boats off the coast of South America, killing six people, the Trump administration's defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has said. Hegseth said: These vessels were known by our intelligence to be associated with illicit narcotics smuggling, were carrying narcotics, and were transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route in the Eastern Pacific. However, Washington has yet to make public any concrete evidence that its targets were smuggling narcotics or posed a threat to the United States."
US forces struck two alleged drug-trafficking boats off the coast of South America, killing six people. The operations began in early September and have targeted vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. The strikes were described as lethal kinetic attacks on vessels identified as operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations and were carried out in international waters. Each targeted boat reportedly carried three male narco-terrorists; all six were killed and no US forces were harmed. Officials asserted intelligence linked the vessels to illicit narcotics smuggling along known Eastern Pacific transit routes. Washington has not publicly released concrete evidence tying the targets to drug smuggling or direct threats to the United States.
