US military forces on Wednesday executed a strike against another Venezuelan drug vessel in the Eastern Pacific.
The strike under Joint Task Force Southern Spear killed four members of a Designated Terrorist Organization, US Southern Command said.
This marks the 26th strike against Venezuelan drug boats and brings the total number of narcoterrorists killed in these operations to 99.

US Southern Command said in a statement on X on Friday:
On Dec. 17, at the direction of @SecWar Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organizations in international waters. Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. A total of four male narco-terrorists were killed, and no U.S. military forces were harmed.
Earlier on Friday, Tucker Carlson suggested that he’s heard rumors that war with Venezuela is imminent. “Members of Congress were briefed yesterday that a war is coming, and it’ll be announced in the address tonight,” he said. “Who knows, by the way, if that’ll actually happen? I don’t know, and I never want to overstate what I know, which is pretty limited in general.”
President Trump did not announce war with Venezuela during his Friday night address from the White House, but that could come soon if the conflict continues to escalate.
WATCH:
This comes after three Venezuelan drug boats were destroyed by US forces in the Eastern Pacific on Monday.
President Trump on Monday also signed an Executive Order designating fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.
Then, on Tuesday, Trump ordered a complete blockade on all sanctioned oil tankers going to and from Venezuela.
