Trump strikes ‘narco-terrorist’ boat killing six as Venezuela warns of full-scale US invasion
Donald Trump first opened fire on a boat carrying drugs off the coast of Venezuela, then caused death.
The President explained the announcement on Truth Social by stating that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had ordered the narco-terrorist ship ‘lethal kinetic’. Trump said Hegseth carried out the deadly operation with his permission.
US intelligence confirmed that the ship was smuggling drugs for an unnamed narcoterrorist network.
“The attack was carried out in International Waters and six male narco-terrorists on the ship were killed in the attack,” Trump said in his letter to his followers on Truth Social.
‘No US Forces were harmed. Thank you for your interest in this matter!!!!!!’
The attack came after Venezuela warned that the US military was preparing for a full-scale invasion of the South American country.
Venezuela’s UN Ambassador Samuel Moncada called an emergency meeting with the UN Security Council last Friday, warning that US attacks on Venezuelan boats were the first steps before an invasion.
‘The aggressive action and rhetoric of the US government point to the fact that objectively we are facing a situation where it is reasonable to foresee an armed attack against Venezuela in the very short term.’
Trump announced that the US military blew up a ship carrying drugs off the coast of Venezuela and killed six narco-terrorists.
This is the fifth airstrike by the US military on Venezuelan drug ships in recent months.
Trump announced the airstrike to his followers on Truth Social on Tuesday
The latest airstrike is the fifth attack on alleged Venezuelan drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean Sea.
According to the Trump administration, a total of 21 alleged narco-terrorists were killed in the last four attacks.
The president attached a 33-second video of the military showing the ships being blown apart by an air strike.
Since taking back the White House, Trump has accused Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro of being a drug lord and dictator. Administration officials also cut off diplomatic communications with Venezuela following the attacks.
This is breaking news and will be improved.
