U.S. forces killed three people Thursday when they struck an alleged drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean, bringing the death toll from the Trump administration's anti-narcotics campaign to at least 70.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth released aerial footage showing the boat exploding into flames after the strike. Hegseth said the vessel was operated by a designated terrorist organization.
The U.S. has destroyed at least 18 vessels during the campaign, but has not released concrete evidence that they were smuggling drugs.
The United Nations has called for the U.S. to cease the campaign, saying the killings violate international law.
