(Reuters) -The U.S. military killed two men in a strike on a suspected drug vessel in international waters in the Eastern Pacific on Tuesday, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said.
“Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics,” Hegseth said in a post on X.
Hegseth’s post included an 18-second video clip of a boat in water that gets struck and explodes.
