Video: 8 killed in triple U.S. drug boat strike

The U.S. military just released new video shows the moments it attacked three boats accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing a total of eight people as scrutiny over the boat strikes is intensifying in Congress. This also comes as Sec. Rubio and Defense Sec. Hegseth are expected to go before the senate regaurding the strikes. The military said in a statement on social media that the strikes targeted “designated terrorist organizations,” killing three people in the first vessel, two in the second boat and three in the third boat. It didn’t provide evidence of their alleged drug trafficking but posted a video of a boat moving through water before exploding.
