SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AFP) — United States (US) forces attacked a drug-running boat off the coast of the Dominican Republic, its drug enforcement agency announced Sunday, in an apparent expansion of US military activity in the Caribbean.
The head of the DNCD anti-narcotics agency announced the strike at a joint press conference with a spokesperson for the US embassy and said this attack is the same one President Donald Trump first announced Friday, without saying where it had taken place.
