US Conducts 17th Strike on Alleged Drug Boat, Killing 3

The U.S. has killed at least 69 alleged drug traffickers in 17 strikes targeting Designated Terrorist Organizations at sea, mostly in the Caribbean near Venezuela.

  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Thursday night a U.S. strike in the Caribbean Sea killed three `male narco-terrorists` with no U.S. forces harmed.
  • Against a backdrop of repeated strikes, the Trump administration conducted its 17th known strike against alleged drug traffickers at sea, killing at least 69 people while targeting a Designated Terrorist Organization.
  • Most strikes have focused on regional waters, mainly in the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela and the eastern Pacific Ocean, while the Ford Carrier Strike Group's deployment last month would concentrate nearly 20% of deployed warships.
  • Following the close vote, lawmakers failed to curb strike authority, as Hegseth said the Senate rejected a bipartisan resolution 51-49.
  • Conflicting reports raise escalation concerns, as The Miami Herald reported last week strikes on Venezuela could come `within days`, while a Democratic lawmaker told the Associated Press they do not aim to overthrow Maduro.
