Nov. 2 (UPI) -- The United States killed three people in its latest strike against alleged drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced.
Hegseth said in a post to social media Saturday that American forces conducted a kinetic strike against the vessel in international waters.
He said three "narco-terrorists" were on board and all three were killed.
"These narco-terrorists are bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans at home -- and they will not succeed," he said. "The department will treat them exactly how we treated Al-Qaeda. We will continue to track them, map them, hunt them and kill them."
