Colombian President Gustavo Petro said on Wednesday that the latest alleged drug vessel the United States struck was actually a Colombian boat with citizens from the South American country aboard.
Late last week, War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced he ordered the U.S. military to carry out its fourth strike against a small boat carrying narcotics off the Venezuelan coast. He disclosed that the strike killed four men but declined to offer further details on who they were or whether they belonged to a drug cartel or gang that has been designated as a terrorist organization.
