The United States military has confirmed carrying out a lethal strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, following direct orders from U.S. President Donald Trump.
According to a statement from the Department of War, the targeted vessel was engaged in illicit narcotics trafficking along a well-known smuggling route and was carrying narcotics at the time of the operation.
The precision strike, conducted in international waters, resulted in the deaths of two male suspects identified as narco-terrorists. No U.S. personnel were injured during the operation.
Officials say the mission was based on verified intelligence confirming the vessel’s role in a major drug trafficking network attempting to transport illegal substances toward the United States.
The Department of War emphasized that the operation forms part of President Trump’s intensified campaign against global drug cartels and narco-terrorist groups seeking to undermine U.S. national security.
“We will find and terminate every vessel intending to traffic drugs into America to poison our citizens,” the statement read. “Protecting the homeland is our top priority. No cartel terrorist stands a chance against the American military.”
The strike underscores Washington’s renewed zero-tolerance approach to cross-border narcotics operations and its commitment to using military force to safeguard the nation’s maritime frontiers.
Further details on the identity of the terrorist group involved or the quantity of narcotics onboard were not immediately disclosed.
