President Donald Trump announced that U.S. forces destroyed a boat accused of carrying drugs in the waters off Venezuela, resulting in six fatalities. Details remain limited, but officials cite this as part of ongoing U.S. efforts to address drug trafficking routes.

A Venezuelan boat allegedly used by drug traffickers was destroyed in a US military strike that killed 11 people. Vice President JD Vance praised the attack, prompting Senator Rand Paul to accuse him of a “disdain for human life.”
