U.S. military forces carried out a kinetic strike in international waters against a speedboat tied to Tren de Aragua, resulting in 11 fatalities and no reported U.S. casualties. A 30-second black-and-white video on Truth Social shows the vessel gliding and then exploding. The boat was described as transporting illegal narcotics toward the United States, though media outlets had not independently verified the trafficking claim. Tren de Aragua is designated a foreign terrorist organization and accused of mass murder, drug and sex trafficking, and violence across the Western Hemisphere. Venezuela had not publicly commented amid heightened tensions after U.S. warships were deployed to the Caribbean.
Earlier this morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility. TDA is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, operating under the control of Nicolas Maduro, responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence and terror across the United States and Western Hemisphere. The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has yet to comment publicly. Trump has accused Maduro's government of controlling Tren de Aragua, an international criminal organization that originated in the country. Maduro was defiant after Trump deployed warships to the Caribbean, telling his U.S. counterpart that war would stain your hands with blood. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump revealed the bombing at a press conference at the White House. We just over the last few minutes shot out at a boat, a drug-carrying boat, he said.
