The U.S. military killed four men in a strike on a suspected drug vessel in the Eastern Pacific on Wednesday, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said.
Hegseth said in a statement released, the vessel, like all the others, was known by intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics.
Hegseth’s statement included a 22-second video clip of a boat in water that gets struck and explodes.
