US forces have taken out an alleged drug-smuggling vessel in the Caribbean, according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth<\/strong><\/p>\n

US forces have killed three men in what Secretary of War Pete Hegseth called a strike on a drug-trafficking vessel in the Caribbean Sea.<\/p>\n

The attack was the latest in a series of US strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific that killed at least 18 people earlier this week. President Donald Trump has said the campaign aims to cull drug-smuggling operations from Venezuela and Colombia – accusations both countries have denied.<\/p>\n

“The Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike”<\/em> on a boat in international waters in the Caribbean on Sunday, Hegseth wrote on X. He claimed that the vessel was operated by members of a “Designated Terrorist Organization,”<\/em> without providing evidence.<\/p>\n

All three “narco-terrorists”<\/em> aboard were killed, he wrote, adding that the US will continue to hunt down and kill alleged drug smugglers.<\/p>\n

Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Caribbean. <\/p>\n

Since the outset of Trump’s anti-cartel operation in the region, the US has amassed around 16,000 troops in the eastern Caribbean near Venezuela, the Washington Post reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Eight US Navy warships, a special operations vessel, and a nuclear-powered attack submarine are reportedly already in the region, with an aircraft carrier strike group led by the USS Gerald R. Ford expected to reinforce the armada next week.<\/p>\n

Last month, Trump said he authorized CIA operations on Venezuelan soil, claiming they would target “drugs coming in”<\/em> from the Latin American country.<\/p>\n

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has dismissed the accusations, accusing Trump of preparing a regime-change operation and resource grab.<\/p>\n

“Venezuela is innocent,”<\/em> he said in Caracas on Friday. “Imperialism is only seeking to justify a war to steal our riches and bring about regime change.”<\/em><\/p>\n

UN human rights chief Volker Turk on Friday condemned the deadly US strikes in the region, calling them “unacceptable,”<\/em> and urged it to halt the “extrajudicial killing.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Russia, which ratified a strategic partnership with Venezuela this week, has expressed its “strong support for the Venezuelan leadership in defending national sovereignty.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“The root of the US’ drug problem”<\/em> is in the US, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Saturday, urging America to tackle the problem on its own soil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
