U.S. Military Strikes Kill 14 Narco-Terrorists in Eastern Pacific
The U.S. military killed 14 alleged narco-terrorists in strikes on four drug vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced. The strikes marked the deadliest day yet in the administration’s two-month effort to target drug-trafficking groups.
