The White House has released a dramatic video showing U.S. military forces destroying an alleged narcotics trafficking boat in international waters.
Trump Announces Another Strike
On Friday, President Donald Trump revealed that he had ordered a lethal strike on a drug-trafficking vessel tied to a designated terrorist group.
The President posted on social media that the strike took place within the U.S. Southern Command’s area of responsibility, resulting in the deaths of three male terrorists.
“On my Orders, the Secretary of War ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking illicit narcotics and was transiting along a known narcotrafficking passage enroute to poison Americans.”
Trump emphasized that no U.S. forces were harmed in the operation.
“STOP SELLING FENTANYL, NARCOTICS, AND ILLEGAL DRUGS IN AMERICA, AND COMMITTING VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM AGAINST AMERICANS!!!” he warned.
White House Shares Footage
The White House posted the striking footage on its official Twitter/X account, showing the vessel exploding on the water.
This marked the third confirmed fatal strike in recent weeks, as the Trump administration intensifies its anti-narcotics campaign.
Earlier in September, the military released another video of an alleged Venezuelan narcotics boat being destroyed.
Just days ago, Trump disclosed that U.S. forces killed three individuals on a vessel in international waters near South America.
“We have proof. All you have to do is look at the cargo that was spattered all over the ocean, big bags of cocaine and fentanyl all over the place,” he said when pressed for evidence of narcotics trafficking.
