U.S. Military Blows Up Another Boat on Camera, 2 Alleged Traffickers Killed

The Department of War has ordered the destruction of another boat allegedly carrying “narco-terrorists” … and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth released video of the fatal strike on social media.

Hegseth posted the clip Wednesday morning … explaining in the caption the strike went down Tuesday, and was carried out on a boat operated by a member of a “Designated Terrorist Organization” — though he doesn’t specify which one — cutting through the water in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

The video shows the boat moving at a high speed … before it’s stopped abruptly by a barrage of missiles. A massive fireball engulfs the ship and burns atop the water before the 23-second clip ends.

Hegseth says the vessel was a known drug-smuggling boat that U.S. intelligence officers learned about … and he says it was “transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route, and carrying narcotics.”

Two alleged “narco-terrorists” were aboard the boat at the time of the strike, Hegseth claims … and, they are now both dead. No U.S. military personnel were harmed in the attack.

This is the second time this week Hegseth has shared video of these attacks … releasing footage on Sunday of a strike carried out last week which killed multiple alleged members of the Ejército de Liberación Nacional — a far-left guerrilla movement considered a DTO by the U.S.

At least eight boats have now been blown up over the past couple of months — and at least 34 people have been killed in those strikes, according to the Defense Department — rebranded by the Trump Administration as the Department of War.
