U.S. forces struck a second vessel suspected of carrying illegal drugs in international waters, killing three Venezuelans, President Donald Trump said Monday on his Truth Social platform.
Trump said that U.S. forces had targeted "positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility."
He said the strike took place while the "confirmed narcoterrorists from Venezuela" were transporting narcotics bound for the United States.
"The Strike resulted in 3 male terrorists killed in action," Trump said, adding that no U.S. forces were harmed.
"BE WARNED - IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!" the U.S. president added.
