US Military Says Four Killed in Strike on Suspected Drug-Smuggling Boat

The US military said it struck a boat suspected of being used to smuggle drugs in the Caribbean Sea, killing four people.

The military described those killed as “narco-terrorists.” The account did not provide their names or specify their roles aboard the vessel.

The attack was part of a campaign that President Donald Trump’s administration has been conducting for a year against people it describes as drug traffickers in Latin America.

The announcement did not specify where in the Caribbean the strike took place or detail the evidence behind the suspicion that the boat was involved in drug smuggling.
