Military conducts offensive on suspected narcotics vessel, resulting in the loss of 11 lives; Trump confirms the event
In a surprising turn of events, President Donald Trump announced a military strike against an alleged drug boat connected to a South American gang. The attack occurred at sea in international waters, according to reports.
The drug vessel, which was transporting illegal narcotics and was heading towards the United States, was operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization. The South American drug gang allegedly associated with the attacked boat, which the US military reportedly targeted, is described by US officials as a "drug terrorist" organization operating out of Venezuela. However, the specific gang's name is not explicitly mentioned in the sources.
The strike was aimed at the Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists, a group known for their involvement in drug trafficking and terrorism activities. The military conducted a precision strike against the drug vessel, resulting in 11 terrorists being killed in action.
The assignment of Navy ships to counter drug cartels was confirmed last week, with eight Navy ships now assigned to U.S. Southern Command to help combat this issue. The strike, part of a developing story, was also confirmed by the Pentagon.
President Trump shared a video of the strike on his social media platform, teasing the announcement during an Oval Office event on Tuesday afternoon. Updates on the story are recommended for further information.
