WASHINGTON: The United States carried out another military strike on a boat carrying alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean on Monday, saying three “narcoterrorists” from Venezuela were killed.
“This morning, on my Orders, US Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists,” President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social network.
In a previous strike on Sept 3, Trump said 11 people were killed on a boat allegedly used by drug traffickers, prompting concerns about whether Washington had breached international law.
