President Trump just announced that the US military just “shot out” a drug-carrying boat from Venezuela a few minutes ago.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio just made the formal announcement, calling it a ‘lethal strike’:
As @potus just announced moments ago, today the U.S. military conducted a lethal strike in the southern Carribean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.
