US Strikes Alleged Drug Boats in Pacific

The U.S. military conducted strikes on four vessels allegedly trafficking narcotics in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing 14 and leaving one survivor. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the strikes, stating that the vessels were known to be carrying narcotics and were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes. The strikes bring the total death toll in President Trump's campaign against alleged traffickers to over 50. The Mexican Navy rescued the survivor, and the U.S. Coast Guard requested their assistance. The strikes have been met with criticism from some, including Sen. Rand Paul, who called them 'extrajudicial killings.' President Trump has stated that his administration will provide information about the strikes to Congress but will not seek a declaration of war.

The US military, under the direction of President Donald Trump, has carried out a series of strikes against four suspected drug vessels in the Eastern Pacific, killing 14 alleged narco-terrorists. The strikes were conducted in international waters, with no US forces harmed. The vessels were operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations (DTOs) and were carrying narcotics. The Department of War, led by Secretary Pete Hegseth, announced the strikes, stating that the US will continue to target narco-terrorists who have killed more Americans than Al-Qaeda. This is part of a larger effort by the Trump administration to combat narco-terrorism, with dozens of suspected drug traffickers killed since September 2.

The US has launched a series of airstrikes on boats in the Pacific Ocean, killing 57 people, allegedly on the orders of President Donald Trump. The boats were said to be operated by 'Designated Terrorist Organisations' trafficking narcotics. The attacks are part of a broader military build-up in the region, amid tensions between the US and Venezuela. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has denied allegations of leading a drug-trafficking organisation. The strikes have been criticised by Democrats and legal experts, who question their legality and the involvement of the US Coast Guard. Venezuela's government has condemned the strikes as 'illegal' and 'acts of aggression'.
