U.S. military struck a Caribbean drug vessel Sept. 2, killing 11, sparking congressional scrutiny over legality despite White House and Pentagon claims it was lawful.
The White House defended a U.S. military strike in the Caribbean on September 2, 2025, stating Navy Vice Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley lawfully ordered a follow-up attack on an alleged drug-smuggling vessel, asserting the action eliminated an ongoing threat.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized the operation, which killed 11 people, including survivors from the initial strike, prompting bipartisan congressional scrutiny.
Lawmakers from both parties called for investigations, demanding transparency and review of the operation’s legality, while the Pentagon maintained the strikes were lawful and consistent with military and international law.
Bradley was promoted shortly after the incident, and military leaders reaffirmed confidence in command decisions aimed at disrupting illicit trafficking networks.
