With Friday’s action, the total number of people killed in U.S. counter-narcotics operations since Trump ordered warships deployed to the Caribbean has risen to 17.

Trump did not specify the exact location of the strike, the name of the terrorist organization allegedly involved, or which branch of the U.S. military conducted the operation. He cited only Doral-based Southern Command, which oversees military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The president framed the strike as part of a broader effort to confront narcotrafficking and hold foreign actors accountable for what he described as threats to American communities.
