The United States carried out an attack on a ship carrying drugs, killing four people, according to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

The American Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, announced that U.S. forces killed four people in an attack on a ship carrying drugs, conducted in international waters, near Venezuela. Hegseth emphasized that operations will continue until the attacks on the American people cease. Information suggests that the individuals on board were narco-terrorists involved in drug trafficking. This is an example of a similar operation, which also took place in September, when the U.S. attacked a vessel associated with the Tren de Aragua cartel.
