The U.S. conducted a second airstrike against an alleged drug vessel in international waters, President Donald Trump announced on Monday.
Trump said the strike killed three men from Venezuela he labeled “confirmed narcoterrorists” and reaffirmed his commitment to continue targeting suspected drug traffickers.
“BE WARNED — IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!,” Trump wrote on social media.
The strike marks the second attack on an alleged drug trafficking boat this month. A U.S. strike against a vessel leaving Venezuela earlier this month prompted lawmakers in both parties to raise concerns over the legality of the attacks.
