Secretary of Defense pete hegseth US forces launched an eighth strike against an alleged drug ship, a social media post said.
The attack occurred in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Tuesday night. All target ships were attacked in the last seven attacks CaribbeanAccording to Hegseth, two people died in the attack, bringing the death toll from all attacks to at least 34.
In a brief video released by Hegseth, a small boat, half filled with brown packages, is seen moving along the water. Several seconds into the video, the boat explodes and is seen floating motionless on the water in flames.
In his post, Hegseth took the unusual step of comparing alleged drug traffickers to the terrorist group that carried out the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
“Just as al Qaeda has waged war on our homeland, these cartels are waging war on our border and our people,” Hegseth said, adding, “There will be no asylum or amnesty – only justice.”
