Caribbean-Latin America

Trump's latest narco-terrorist strike far from Venezuela increases death toll to shocking number [75]

2025-11-10

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump unleashed fire and death against alleged narco-terrorists in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday.

Prob’ly somewhere along the coast of Latin America.

Two strikes were conducted under the President's orders yesterday, killing six. It brings the death toll of suspected drug terrorists so far to 75.
Shocking! Or not, to anyone not scribbling for the DM
US intelligence discovered the vessels were 'associated with illicit narcotics smuggling,' according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who announced the operation on social media today.

He claimed both vessels were carrying narcotics but did not specify the exact drugs or location in the Eastern Pacific Ocean where the strike took place.

The cabinet secretary added: 'Both strikes were conducted in international waters and three male narco-terrorists were aboard each vessel. All six were killed. No US forces were harmed.'

The US military has conducted 18 lethal strikes against suspected drug vessels over the last few months, killing approximately 75 people after Sunday's deadly operation.

Since starting his second term, Trump has applied more military pressure on Venezuela by accusing the socialist regime of trafficking drugs into the United States.

Trump has also labeled the largest drug cartels in Mexico as terrorist organizations.

'Under President Trump, we are protecting the homeland and killing these cartel terrorists who wish to harm our country and its people,' Hegseth concluded.

Last week, the US conducted its 17th deadly strike on drug boats moving narcotics through international waters in the Caribbean.

Hegseth revealed this on Thursday, noting that all three alleged narco-terrorists had been killed on board.

Critics have claimed that the Trump administration's targeted strikes on drug smugglers represent extrajudicial killings.

The Pentagon has yet to release concrete evidence to the public that the vessels were carrying narcotics or posed a threat to the US.

Back in October, America rescued two survivors from a military strike on a drug vessel. The pair were later repatriated to Colombia and Ecuador.

Trump has justified the attacks as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the United States.

He has asserted America is engaged in an 'armed conflict' with drug cartels, relying on the same legal authority used by the Bush administration when it declared a war on terrorism after the September 11 attacks.
