President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social on Friday that he ordered a lethal strike on a vessel linked to a designated terrorist organization "conducting narco-trafficking" in the U.S. Southern Command’s area of responsibility.

The strike — which was carried out on a vessel confirmed by intelligence to be trafficking illicit narcotics — left three narco-terrorists dead, Trump said in the post, along with a video showing the moment the boat was struck and became engulfed in flames.

"On my Orders, the Secretary of War ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility," Trump posted to his Truth Social account Friday evening. "Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking illicit narcotics, and was transiting along a known narcotrafficking passage enroute to poison Americans."

The strike took place in international waters, and no U.S. forces were harmed, he added.

"The strike killed 3 male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel, which was in international waters," Trump said. "No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. STOP SELLING FENTANYL, NARCOTICS, AND ILLEGAL DRUGS IN AMERICA, AND COMMITTING VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM AGAINST AMERICANS!!!"

The announcement follows just days after Trump announced the U.S. military had carried out its second strike on Venezuelan cartels as the administration continues its crackdown.

"This morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility," Trump posted to Truth Social on Monday. 

Earlier this month, a U.S. military strike blew apart a Venezuelan drug boat in the southern Caribbean, leaving nearly a dozen suspected Tren de Aragua (TdA) narco terrorists dead.

In February, the Trump administration also designated drug cartel groups like Tren de Aragua, the Sinaloa Cartel and others as foreign terrorist organizations.

Former motorsport star Danica Patrick has weighed in on Disney's indefinite removal of talk show host Jimmy Kimmel from ABC airwaves for recent comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination. 

In social media posts on Wednesday, Patrick celebrated Kimmel's removal. 

One of her Instagram stories shared a news report of Kimmel's removal, with her own caption reading "Human decency is coming back. Thank God."

Patrick also shared a screenshot of one of Kirk's own tweets from 2017 that read, "Jimmy Kimmel isn’t funny." 

Patrick has been an outspoken conservative in recent years who has staunchly supported President Donald Trump and most of his policies. 

She is one of the many right-wing figures on social media defending the recent decision to remove Kimmel for his recent comments. 

On Monday, Kimmel accused conservatives of reaching "new lows" in trying to pin left-wing ideology on 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson, even though prosecutors reaffirmed those ties in Tuesday’s indictment.

"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said.

Kimmel’s comments came one day after both FBI officials and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said that Robinson held a "leftist ideology" and was increasingly radicalized in recent years. It was also revealed that he had a romantic relationship with a biological male roommate who is transitioning to female.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr then issued a threat against Disney if it didn't address the controversy.

Appearing on Wednesday's "The Benny Show," Carr called Kimmel's comments "some of the sickest conduct" and suggested there were potential "avenues" the FCC could pursue.

"In some quarters, there's a very concerted effort to try to lie to the American people about the nature … of one of the most significant newsworthy public interest acts that we've seen in a long time in what appears to be an action by Jimmy Kimmel to play into that narrative that this was somehow a MAGA or a Republican-motivated person," Carr told host Benny Johnson. 

Nexstar Media Group, which owns hundreds of television stations, announced earlier it would preempt Kimmel's show on its ABC affiliates starting Wednesday night "for the foreseeable future" and would replace it with other programming over his comments about suspected Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson.

News of Kimmel's removal from air was then confirmed by Disney later on Wednesday night.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely," a Disney spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital.
