The United States has carried out another strike near Venezuelan waters, hitting a small vessel it claims was involved in narco trafficking and killing six people on board.
US President Donald Trump announced the operation on his social media platform, Truth Social, saying it was ordered by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth under his authority as commander in chief.
Trump said the “kinetic strike” targeted a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organisation operating in the US Southern Command’s area of responsibility.
