The U.S. military conducted a fourth strike off the coast of Venezuela, destroying a boat and killing four suspected narco-terrorists transporting narcotics. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the strike in international waters, aimed at preventing drugs from reaching the U.S. This action follows President Trump's declaration of an "armed conflict" with drug cartels and previous strikes on similar vessels. Venezuela has condemned the actions as an "illegal incursion" and a threat to national sovereignty.
