The caribbean: The US executed a lethal strike on a vessel in international waters in the Caribbean, directed by President Donald Trump. The operation resulted in the deaths of three individuals labeled as "narco-terrorists."
According to Anadolu Agency, the strike was aimed at a vessel "operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization" involved in narcotics trafficking. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared on the US social media platform X that no US personnel were harmed during the operation.
Hegseth stated that the vessel was engaged in narcotics trafficking in the Caribbean and was intercepted in international waters. He emphasized that similar strikes on narco-terrorists would persist until the cessation of such trafficking activities.
He further warned, "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."
