U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday that the United States carried out a lethal strike on an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the Pacific, continuing a recent surge of anti-drug U.S. military activity in the region.
“Earlier today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on yet another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Eastern Pacific,” Hegseth wrote in a post on X.
