The strike Tuesday against a boat allegedly carrying drugs is the eighth conducted by the Trump administration. The previous seven happened in the Caribbean.
''Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel being operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization and conducting narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific. The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route, and carrying narcotics,'' Hegseth said.
''There were two narco-bully boyz aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. Both bad boyz were potted and no US forces were harmed in this strike,'' he added.
Earlier this week, Hegseth announced that three alleged narco-bad boyz were potted in a US strike on a drug smuggling vessel affiliated with Colombia's National Liberation Army.

The death toll from the Trump administration’s military campaign against suspected drug-smuggling vessels is at least 34. The operations began last month and are part of Trump’s broader effort to dismantle transnational cartels by force.
Last Thursday, the U.S. military carried out a strike on what Trump later called a "very large drug-carrying submarine" in the Caribbean, killing two suspected narco-terrorists and capturing two others alive.
