Trump Orders First NIGHT Strike On Drugs-Vessel In Caribbean Sea; SIX (6) Killed
At the direction of United States President Donald Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike overnight on a vessel operated by Tren de Aragua (TdA), a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO), trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean Sea.
The announcement was made this morning (Friday 24th October, 2025) by Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth.
According to Secretary Hegseth, “The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Six (6) male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters — and was the first strike at night. All six (6) terrorists were killed and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.”

Hegseth warned, “If you are a narco-terrorist smuggling drugs in our hemisphere, we will treat you like we treat Al-Qaeda. Day or NIGHT, we will map your networks, track your people, hunt you down, and kill you.”
At least forty (40) people have been killed since the U.S. began striking boats at the start of September.
The President, meanwhile, told reporters on Thursday (23rd October, 2025) he would not seek a formal declaration of war in order to go after alleged drug traffickers. “Well, I don’t think we’re gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we’re just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. OK? We’re going to kill them. You know? They’re gonna be like, dead.”
Trump made the remark while discussing expanded U.S. strikes on vessels and plans to target land-based routes used by smugglers following a series of recent military strikes at sea.
