Three people have been killed in a second U.S. strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat, according to President Donald Trump.

"This morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility," Trump wrote on social media. "The Strike occurred while these confirmed narcoterrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) headed to the U.S."

Trump announced earlier this month that 11 people had been killed in a similar strike on a boat.
