US - Airstrike on drug 'cartel' boat in southern Caribbean
Published Sep 2, 2025 6:23 PM EDT

U.S. officials released a video that appeared to show an airstrike by U.S. forces on a speedboat in waters near Venezuela that President Donald Trump said was carrying a "lot of drugs."

U.S. forces patrolling the southern Caribbean fired on a Venezuelan boat that U.S. officials say was linked to drug trafficking. President Donald Trump posted a video to social media of an apparent airstrike on a moving speedboat that he said was carrying a drug shipment.

“We, just over the last few minutes, literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat. Lot of drugs in that boat,” Trump told reporters at the White House, before hinting that further strikes may be coming. “And there’s more where that came from.”

Pentagon officials confirmed the attack without offering any details.

“As the President announced today, we can confirm the U.S. military conducted a precision strike against a drug vessel operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization. More information will be made available at a later time,” an emailed release from the Pentagon said
