Trump Orders Kinetic Strike On Drugs-Vessel In Eastern Pacific — TWO (2) Killed
At the direction of United States President Donald Trump, the Department of War conducted a lethal kinetic strike on Tuesday (21st October, 2025) on a vessel being operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) and conducting narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific. Two (2) narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed.
This is said to be the 8th strike since early September, against drug-smuggling vessels (in both the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean), killing at least thirty-four (34) people — including two (2) Trinidadian men.
The Department of War did not disclose the specific location of the strike on Tuesday or the identity of the group operating the vessel.
According to U.S. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, “The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route, and carrying narcotics. There were two narco-terrorists aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. Both terrorists were killed and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.”

Secretary Hegseth added, “Narco-terrorists intending to bring poison to our shores, will find no safe harbor anywhere in our hemisphere. Just as Al Qaeda waged war on our homeland, these cartels are waging war on our border and our people. There will be no refuge or forgiveness—only justice.”
