(AFP) \u2014<\/strong> United States (US) forces carried out a strike on an alleged drug-smuggling boat off the coast of Venezuela on Friday, killing four people, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hegseth announced the latest strike \u2014 which brings the number of such attacks to at least four, leaving at least 21 people dead \u2014 in a post on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An accompanying video showed a boat speeding across the waves before being engulfed in smoke and flames, then continuing to burn while still floating.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFour male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike,\u201d which \u201cwas conducted in international waters just off the coast of Venezuela while the vessel was transporting substantial amounts of narcotics \u2014 headed to America to poison our people,\u201d the Pentagon chief wrote.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese strikes will continue until the attacks on the American people are over!!!!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest military action comes after President Donald Trump\u2019s administration said in a notice to Congress that he has declared that the United States is engaged in \u201carmed conflict\u201d with drug cartels.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But Washington has not released evidence to support its assertion that the targets of its strikes are drug smugglers, and experts say the summary killings are illegal even if they target confirmed narcotics traffickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The administration\u2019s letter, a copy of which was obtained by AFP on Thursday, was designed as a legal justification for at least three previous strikes.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe president determined these cartels are non-state armed groups, designated them as terrorist organisations, and determined that their actions constitute an armed attack against the United States,\u201d said the notice from the Pentagon, which also described suspected smugglers as \u201cunlawful combatants.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A White House official said the notice was sent to Congress after one of the strikes on September 15, adding that it was legally mandated to do so after any attack involving the US military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s director of communications, Steven Cheung, gleefully greeted the latest deadly strike, saying traffickers and their \u201cdeadly drugs have been turned into stardust.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump posted the same video as Hegseth on his Truth Social platform, saying that \u201ca boat loaded with enough drugs to kill 25 TO 50 THOUSAND PEOPLE was stopped, early this morning off the Coast of Venezuela, from entering American Territory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strikes have contributed to soaring tensions between the United States and Venezuela, which were already heightened over the deployment of multiple American warships in the region that Washington says are to combat trafficking but which Caracas views as a threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venezuela said Thursday it had detected \u201can illegal incursion\u201d by five US fighter jets flying off its shores, with Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino denouncing the alleged flights as a \u201cprovocation\u201d and a \u201cthreat to our national security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump last month dispatched 10 F-35 aircraft to Puerto Rico, a US territory in the Caribbean, as part of the biggest military deployment in the area in over three decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two Venezuelan military planes buzzed an American naval vessel last month, Trump warned Caracas that its jets would be \u201cshot down\u201d if there was any repeat of the incident.<\/p>\n
