Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the strike on social media Wednesday, saying it took place a day prior. Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel being operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization and conducting narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific, Hegseth wrote. There were two narco-terrorists aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. Both terrorists were killed.
"If the sea surface temperature patterns in the North Pacific were just the result of processes related to stochastic [random] variability in the past decade or two, we would have just been extremely unlucky, like a really bad roll of the dice."
