US Attacks Four More Boats in Pacific, Killing 14

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced that the US has targeted four additional vessels in the Pacific Ocean, killing 14 people. The Trump administration claims that the boats were carrying drugs. 

On Tuesday, Hegseth disclosed the strikes that he said occurred on Monday. “At the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out three lethal kinetic strikes on four vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations (DTO) trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific,” he wrote on X. His post included a video of the strikes.
