White House released visuals of the strikes that targeted a "drug-carrying submarine" in the Caribbean.
US President Donald Trump on Saturday (local time) said his administration carried out strikes against a “drug-carrying submarine" that was navigating towards the United States on a well-known narco-trafficking transit route, killing two people on board. He said intelligence reports confirmed that the vessel was carrying fentanyl and other illegal narcotics.
