American forces in the Caribbean struck a fourth boat in the sea this morning, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said, killing four people on board. The secretary said that the Friday morning strike happened in international waters, near Venezuelan territory, and the strike killed four men onboard the boat. It’s the fourth attack on a boat sailing through the Caribbean since Sept. 2, when American forces struck a ship carrying 11 people. Today’s strike brings the total number of people killed by American airstrikes in the Caribbean to 21. !”U.S. forces have carried out previous strikes — some via drones — without presenting public evidence the ships were containing drugs.
