U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Sunday that the American military conducted a lethal strike on a vessel operated by a drug trafficking organization in the Caribbean, resulting in the deaths of three individuals aboard.
In a post on X, the secretary revealed that the operation, overseen by President Donald Trump, took place in international waters. The targeted ship was recognized for its involvement in drug smuggling activities, and fortunately, no American forces were injured during the mission.
