The U.S. military killed four men in a strike on a suspected drug vessel in the Eastern Pacific on Wednesday, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said.
"This vessel, like all the others, was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics," Hegseth said in a post on X.
Hegseth's post included a 22-second video clip of a boat in water that gets struck and explodes.
