United States President Donald Trump has announced that the US military struck down yet another vessel in the SouthCom region today.

In a post to his Truth social platform minutes ago, Trump claimed that three male "narcoterrorists" were aboard the vessel at the time of the strike, and were killed. 

The operation, he said, took place in international waters. The lethal kinetic strike, he added, was ordered on his authority by US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The vessel, he alleged, was affiliated with a designated terrorist organization
