The U.S. military carried out its 10th strike on a drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean Sea, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said on Oct. 24.
Hegseth said in a post on X that U.S. forces conducted a lethal strike on a boat operated by Tren de Aragua, which is a U.S.-designated terrorist organization.
“The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics,” he said.
It was the first nighttime strike on a boat carrying narcotics, according to Hegseth. Six men on board the vessel were killed, and no U.S. forces were harmed, he said….
