Video shows US military blasting drug boat, killing 11 suspected Venezuelan Tren de Aragua narco-terrorists

President Donald Trump shared dramatic video Tuesday of a U.S. military strike that blew apart a Venezuelan drug boat in the southern Caribbean, leaving nearly a dozen suspected Tren de Aragua (TdA) narco-terrorists dead.

"Over the last few minutes, [we] literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat," Trump said during a news conference in the Oval Office. "A lot of drugs in that boat. And you'll be seeing that, and you'll be reading about that. It just happened moments ago."

The president later shared a video of the strike on Truth Social, confirming the blast occurred in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility, while the terrorists were in international waters transporting illegal narcotics to the U.S.

"The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action," Trump wrote in the post. "No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE! Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!!!!!!"

Trump said many drug boats are coming out of the country, noting they "took it out."

"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," he wrote in the X post.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has not yet publicly commented on the strike.
