The US military has killed three men in a strike on a suspected drug boat in international waters in the Caribbean, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, quoted by “Reuters“, reports News.bg.
In a post on the social network X, Hegseth specified that the vessel was operated by a “designated terrorist organization“, without providing further evidence. The post includes a 20-second unclassified video clip showing the boat in the water, hit by a munition and a subsequent explosion.
This is the latest in more than a dozen US strikes since September against ships near the coast of Venezuela and, most recently, in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Over 60 people died in these operations.
