The US military carried out three attacks on Monday against four ships in the Eastern Pacific Ocean that were suspected of trafficking narcotics, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Tuesday.
Hegseth said in a statement posted on X that the attacks killed 14 “narcoterrorists” and there was one survivor. Mexican authorities assumed responsibility for rescuing the person who survived the attack.
Hegseth said the ships were “operated by designated terrorist organizations (DTOs) trafficking narcotics in the eastern Pacific” and said they were known to “our intelligence apparatus.”
