The Pentagon blew up another narco-trafficking vessel and killed four terrorists – this time in the Eastern Pacific.
Wednesday’s strike on a narco-vessel in the Pacific is the 14th strike on drug boats since last month.
“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,” Secretary Hegseth said.
“This vessel, like all the others, was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel—and killed—during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. No U.S. forces were harmed in this strike,” Hegseth said.
“The Western Hemisphere is no longer a safe haven for narco-terrorists bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans. The Department of War will continue to hunt them down and eliminate them wherever they operate,” Hegseth added.

Senate Judiciary Democrats are now demanding a review of the of the memo outlying the legal justification for the lethal kinetic strikes on the drug boats.
“Drug trafficking is a terrible crime that has had devastating impacts on American families and communities and should be prosecuted. Nonetheless, the President’s actions to hold alleged drug traffickers accountable must still conform with the law,” Senate Judiciary Democrats wrote in a letter.
