President Donald Trump Tuesday boasted that another six people are dead after an alleged drug boat strike in the Caribbean Sea.

Trump announced the news on his Truth Social platform:

"Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!"

The move follows multiple attacks in the region reportedly targeting suspected drug runners in the Caribbean Sea.

Trump earlier this month sent a letter to select members of Congress announcing that the United States is officially at war with drug cartels.
