U.S. naval forces have conducted another lethal strike on a vessel President Donald Trump said was tied to a designated terrorist organization involved in drug trafficking in the Caribbean.
The strike marks the fourth such attack on a suspected drug-smuggling boat since the Trump administration launched a major military deployment in the region aimed at disrupting narcotics networks.
On my orders, the Secretary of War ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility, Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.
Trump said intelligence confirmed that the vessel was transporting narcotics along a known smuggling corridor used to funnel drugs into the United States. Three men aboard the vessel were killed in the strike, he said. No American personnel were injured.
