US strikes another boat ‘trafficking narcotics’ off coast of Venezuela, Trump says; 6 killed
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that U.S. forces had conducted another strike against an alleged drug smuggling vessel, killing six.Trump said in a post on Truth Social that War Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the strike Tuesday morning on a vessel affiliated with a “designated terrorist organization” that was “conducting narcotrafficking” in international waters off the coast of Venezuela. No U.S. forces were harmed in the operation.
Hegseth added a social media post that included a 34-second video of the strike.
Tuesday’s was the fifth known strike the U.S. has conducted in the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility, including most recently on Oct. 3, following a buildup of maritime forces in the region, including eight surface warships and more than 5,000 sailors and Marines. The strikes have killed 27 people.
The latest strike comes after the Senate voted down legislation last week that would have put a check on Trump’s ability to use deadly military force against drug cartels.

Keep blowing all these damn drug dealers up!
6 dealers killed maybe 1000 American's saved.
It's estimated over 100,000 American citizens were saved because of the fentanyl
There were 89,000 overdose deaths in the USA in 2924 how do you get 100,000 lives saved the math is illogical at best
@12:07...what you stated is illogical. I guess we will have to wait until 2924 before we find out? Trump used the figure of 100,000 but even if it is only 25,000 lives saved per boat, that equals 100,000 as 5 boats have been blown up.
I have no sympathy for people who use drugs. Frankly, I don't think they are worth saving.
Drug users, abusers, and sellers have destroyed small towns in Colombia, shame on all druggies!
