Pentagon Announces Strikes on Alleged Drug Boats in the Eastern Pacific, Killing 6 People

HeadlineNov 11, 2025

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced yesterday that the U.S. military killed six people on Sunday in two more strikes on boats in the eastern Pacific. Since early September, the Pentagon has claimed responsibility for 19 attacks on boats the U.S. has said, without evidence, are carrying drugs in the Pacific and the Caribbean Sea, killing 76 people. The strikes come as the Pentagon is deploying its largest warship, the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier, to join a buildup of U.S. forces in the Caribbean this week.
