Hegseth declares recent attack on vessel close to Venezuela he claims was smuggling drugs
Defense Secretary Hegseth ordered a fourth strike on a small boat off the coast of Venezuela, claiming the people onboard were narco-terrorists trafficking narcotics. President Trump declared drug cartels unlawful combatants, leading to the armed conflict with them. The strike killed four men, and three others were carried out in the Caribbean in recent times. The U.S. military presence in the region has increased significantly, with eight warships and over 5,000 sailors and Marines deployed. Details about the strike were limited, with the Pentagon referring to Hegseth’s social media post for information.
