Nov. 6 (UPI) -- The United States has killed three people in a military strike on an alleged drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Thursday night, the 17th attack on vessels in international waters since September.
The strike was directed by President Donald Trump against what Hegseth said was "a Designated Terrorist Organization."
Hegseth did not name the cartel allegedly linked to the vessel or provide evidence that it was trafficking drugs.
"To all narco-terrorists who threaten our homeland: if you want to stay alive, stop trafficking drugs," Hegseth said in a statement on X. "If you keep trafficking deadly drugs -- we will kill you."
