President Donald Trump announced another strike on a suspected drug vessel off the coast of Venezuela on Tuesday afternoon.

The airstrike, which the president said killed six “narcoterrorists” aboard the vessel, was the most recent strike in a series of at least four other targeted missile attacks on drug boats in the Caribbean by the U.S. military.

“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known [drug trafficking organization] 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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump said the strike targeted “a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization” but did not specify which organization. Earlier strikes struck vessels affiliated with the Venezuela-based gang Tren de Aragua, according to the Trump administration.

The news of the strike comes weeks after Trump sent a letter to Congress informing lawmakers that the United States was in a “non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels. The letter followed the Trump administration’s Sept. 15 strike on another suspected drug-smuggling vessel.

A White House official previously told the Washington Examiner that the memo was a 1230 report “legally mandated by the National Defense Authorization Act following any incident in which the United States Armed Forces are involved in an attack or hostilities.”

Trump received pushback from several congressional lawmakers in early September for the strikes as they questioned whether he could conduct the strikes without congressional approval.

“As we have said many times, the President acted in line with the law of armed conflict to protect our country from those trying to bring deadly poison to our shores, and he is delivering on his promise to take on the cartels and eliminate these national security threats from murdering more Americans,” White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly told the Washington Examiner following Trump’s memo to Congress.

Tuesday’s strike was conducted within an area under the responsibility of the U.S. Southern Command, according to Trump.
