USA has carried out a new deadly attack on a boat off the coast of Venezuela which Washington claims had narcotics in the cargo.

”Four narco-terrorists on board the ship were killed in the attack”, writes Defense Minister Pete Hegseth on X.

The attack was carried out in international waters near the coast of Venezuela, adds Hegseth, and claims that the boat ”was transporting significant amounts of narcotics – with destination USA to poison our people”.

In recent weeks, the American military has on several occasions attacked ships that have departed from Venezuela on their way to the USA, with alleged narcotics on board.
