Three people were killed in another U.S. military airstrike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced in a social media post. In a post on X Saturday evening, Hegseth said that the vessel was "known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics." "Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters," Hegseth said in the post. "All three terrorists were killed, and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike." It marks the 15th strike -- in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific -- since the U.S. began its military campaign on Sept. 2, bringing the total number of people killed to 64. Earlier
