November 1, 2025
The U.S. military has carried out another lethal strike on alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the latest strike in a social media posting late Saturday. He said the vessel was operated by a U.S.-designated terrorist organization but did not name which group was targeted. He said three people were killed in the strike. It’s at least the 15th such strike carried out by the U.S. military in the Caribbean or eastern Pacific since early September.
