(NBC, KYMA) - U.S. forces carried out a strike on another suspected drug boat in international waters.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted a video on X Saturday, showing the strike on a boat in the Caribbean Sea that was allegedly trafficking narcotics.

Secretary Hegseth confirmed three people on board were killed in the strike, and no U.S. forces were harmed.

At least 15 strikes have been carried out since early September on vessels and crews in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific that the Trump Administration claims were involved with drug trafficking.

According to official estimates, at least 64 people have been killed in the strikes.
