🔴 BREAKING: WH Confirms Second Strike on “Drug Boat” Was Deliberate The Pete Hegseth-led U.S. counter-narcotics campaign in the Caribbean and Pacific, Operation Southern Spear, included a strike on a boat on September 2, 2025, alleged to be smuggling drugs. According to The Washington Post, the initial strike left survivors clinging to the wreckage. The White House has now confirmed that a second, targeted strike was carried out on the boat, ordered by Admiral Frank M. Bradley, commander of U.S. Special Operations Command. That second strike, per the Post’s reporting, killed the remaining crew. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Bradley’s decision, saying he acted “well within his authority and the law… to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States was eliminated.”

Horrific moment of a russian drone strike on Kharkiv on the evening of March 25. The strike killed a woman. There is nothing military anywhere nearby. As usual, russia just randomly strikes our city in an attempt to break us.
