President Donald Trump released a video Tuesday that showed the U.S.'s lethal strike on a vessel involved in the drug trade that was coming out of Venezuela.
In the same Truth Social post, the president revealed that 11 Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists were killed in the attack.
He initially announced the strike from the Oval Office Tuesday afternoon.
'You'll see that we just, over the last few minutes literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat,' Trump told reporters.
The president said he had just been briefed on the matter by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Daniel 'Razin' Caine.
'We have a lot of drugs pouring into our country, coming in for a long time, and we just - these came out of Venezuela. And coming out very heavily from Venezuela, a lot of things are coming out of Venezuela, so we took it out,' Trump added.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio chimed in directly afterwards.
'As @potus just announced moments ago, today the U.S. military conducted a lethal strike in the southern Caribbean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization,' Rubio said.
Later, Trump jumped on Truth Social to share more details, including that no American military personnel were harmed.
'Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!' the president said, ending the post with his trademark: 'Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!!!!!!'

Sweet I thought it was only a few scumbags. 11. Now that’s progress! Take out more boats!
Sctv.
Hopefully up their azzes.
Lots more.
Great job— sink the boat, depraved smugglers, drugs, weapons, transportation. Literally, stamp it out, to the bottomof the ocean.
It was only a handful of apartment complexes. /Martha Raddatz
A Biden appointed federal judge immediately ruled that all of the deceased must be resurrected and paid reparations for this unconstitutional attack.
How long before the media claims the occupants of the boat were part of a Amish Bible Study Group.
FILM @ ELEVEN, now back to our regular scheduled Programing.
Use the footage as a reference for creating a new video game (ages 6 and up, 1 or 2 players).
If there are eleven guys on that boat, where would there be room for drugs?

That’s what I thought. This could be like Afghanistan, drone strikes on weddings,on our own interpreter ans his children.
I hope the Venezuaelans were running drugs and not fishing.
Just Maryland Men looking to support their families.
I think this means of drug trafficking is going to come to an abrupt halt.
Drug trafficking come to an abrupt halt???
Come on.
Trump warned them. They can’t say they didn’t know about the risk.
I wonder how many illegal aliens were previously shipped into the USA on that boat. Good job, Mr. President. More, More, More!
It looked like they were just trolling. /S
I'm talking about the transportation of drugs via high speed boats off the coast of Venezuela. Not the end of the drug trade itself.
America the Beautiful cleaning up the environment of scum. Won’t be long before some ditzy Dipstick court judge will shut us down for hurting their little gangster pool boys.
Probably the “american” Judgee Sparkle Snookiehanan from Trinidad and Lumbago. She struck gold when the retarded Americans hired her to tell them what they can and can’t do.
Bin Laden was buried at sea-believe it?
