This screen grab from a video posted by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on his X account on November 6, 2025 shows what Hegseth says is a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization. US forces on November 6 struck another alleged drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean, killing three people, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said, bringing the death toll from Washington's controversial anti-narcotics campaign to at least 70. Hegseth released aerial footage on X of the strike, which he said took place in international waters like the previous strikes and targeted "a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization."
