US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced via X (formerly Twitter) that the country had conducted a lethal strike on a vessel that had earlier departed from Venezuela.

The post at 3.09 p.m. read: “As @potus just announced moments ago, today the US military conducted a lethal strike in the southern Caribbean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.”

CCN also reported on the post, saying the move by the Donald Trump-led administration represented a “significant escalation” against drug cartels.
