US forces struck another alleged drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean on Thursday, killing three people, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth says, bringing the death toll from Washington’s controversial anti-narcotics campaign to at least 70, APA reports.
"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," Pete Hegseth said on his X account.
