The U.S. military carried out an airstrike on Friday on a boat that officials had declared a drug trafficking vessel, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on social media.
The attack marks at least the fourth known U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea since the start of September. Officials said the boats were struck because of their affiliation with drug cartels and several gangs that earlier this year were designated as foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S government.
