US Military Strikes Kill 14 On 4 Pacific Drug Boats

The U.S. military, under the direction of President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has conducted a series of strikes against four vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing 14 alleged narco-terrorists and leaving one survivor. These vessels were identified by U.S. intelligence as operated by designated terrorist organizations involved in narcotics trafficking along known routes. The strikes are part of an intensified campaign that has targeted 13 drug-smuggling boats since September, resulting in over 50 deaths and multiple vessel destructions, with no U.S. casualties reported. Mexican search and rescue authorities have taken responsibility for coordinating rescue efforts for the lone survivor. The military operations are supported by significant U.S. naval forces, including the deployment of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, highlighting a strong show of force aimed at disrupting narcotics trafficking and exerting diplomatic pressure in the region. Secretary Hegseth emphasized that these narco-terrorists have caused more American deaths than Al-Qaeda and vowed to continue tracking and eliminating them.
