he United States has conducted another strike on an alleged drug-running boat in international waters, killing three “narco-terrorists,” US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Sunday.
In a post on X, Hegseth said the strike, carried out on Friday, targeted a vessel affiliated with Colombia’s ELN guerrilla group, which “was travelling along a known narco-trafficking route, and was transporting substantial amounts of narcotics.”
Hegseth didn’t specify where the strike took place, but said the boat was operating in an area overseen by the Southern Command, which oversees US military operations in Latin America
