Four men who were “transporting substantial amounts of narcotics headed to America to poison our people” were killed, according to Pete Hegseth.

“Our intelligence, without a doubt, confirmed that this vessel was trafficking narcotics, the people onboard were narco-terrorists, and they were operating on a known narco-trafficking transit route,” the secretary insisted.
“These strikes will continue until the attacks on the American people are over!!!!”
The boat was “loaded with enough drugs to kill 25,000 to 50,000” people, the White House said in a separate post to X.

“BE WARNED!” the message omniously added.
Friday’s strike is at least the fifth hit since Sept. 2 targeting drug cartels designated by the Trump administration as enemy combatants, bringing the total number of purported traffickers killed in the strikes to 24.
President Trump had boasted about eliminating four alleged Venezuelan drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean during a speech Monday at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia.
“If you try to poison our people, we will blow you out of existence,” Trump said at the time. “That’s the only language they really understand. That’s why you don’t see any more boats on the ocean.”
