Washington intensifies its offensive against drug trafficking: naval attack led by the War Department

  

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reported: "Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, the War Department conducted a lethal kinetic attack against a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization and engaged in narcotics trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.

Our intelligence indicated the vessel was involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting a known narcotics transit route, and was transporting narcotics. There were two narco-terrorists on board during the attack, which took place in international waters. Both terrorists were killed, and no U.S. forces were injured in this attack.

Narco-terrorists seeking to bring poison to our shores will find no safe haven anywhere in our hemisphere. Just as al-Qaeda declared war on our homeland, these cartels are waging war on our border and our people. There will be no safe haven, no forgiveness, only justice."
