U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said he directed a “lethal” strike against a vessel in international waters near Venezuela that he said was “transporting substantial amounts of narcotics.” “Earlier this morning, on President Trump’s orders, I directed a lethal, kinetic strike on a narco-trafficking vessel affiliated with Designated Terrorist Organizations in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility. Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike, and no U.S. forces were harmed in the operation,” Hegseth said. “The strike was conducted in international waters just off the coast of Venezuela while the vessel was transporting substantial amounts of narcotics – headed to America to poison our people. Our intelligence, without a doubt, confirmed that this vessel was trafficking narcotics, the people onboard were narco-terrorists, and they were operating on a known narco-trafficking transit route. These strikes will continue until the attacks on the American people are over!!!!” he continued. Hegseth shared footage of the strike: Earlier this morning, on President Trump's orders, I directed a lethal, kinetic strike on a narco-trafficking vessel affiliated with Designated Terrorist Organizations in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility.

It is the fourth deadly strike in the Caribbean and the latest since revelations that Trump told lawmakers he was treating drug traffickers as unlawful combatants and military force was required to combat them. That assertion of presidential war powers sets the stage for expanded action and raises questions about how far the administration will go without sign-off from Congress. Earlier this week, the Trump administration sent a memo to Congress saying the United States is engaged “in a non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels. “The President directed these actions consistent with his responsibility to protect Americans and United States interests abroad and in furtherance of United States national security and foreign policy interests, pursuant to his constitutional authority as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive to conduct foreign relations,” the memo read. “Based upon the cumulative effects of these hostile acts against the citizens and interests of the United States and friendly foreign nations, the president determined that the United States is in a non-international armed conflict with these designated terrorist organizations,” it continued. “The President directed the Department of War to conduct operations against them pursuant to the law of armed conflict,” it added. United States Engaged In “Armed Conflict,” Trump Administration Tells Congress CBS News shared further info: A White House official said the information was part of a report to Congress required by the National Defense Authorization Act after the U.S. military conducts an attack. Last month, the U.S. military carried out three other deadly strikes against boats in the Caribbean that the administration accused of ferrying drugs. With the latest strike, at least three of these operations have been carried out on vessels that originated from Venezuela. The strikes followed a buildup of U.S. maritime forces in the Caribbean unlike any seen in recent times. The Navy's presence in the region — eight warships with over 5,000 sailors and Marines — has been pretty stable for weeks, according to two defense officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing operations. On Thursday, Venezuela's government slammed what it called an "illegal incursion" by U.S. fighter jets into an area under Venezuelan air traffic control, accusing the United States of a "provocation" that "threatens national sovereignty." The Venezuelan foreign and defense ministries said the planes were detected "75 kilometers from our shores," without saying whether they violated Venezuelan airspace.
