US President Donald Trump on Saturday (local time) stated that two "narcoterrorists" were killed in a US military strike on a drug-carrying submarine en route to the country, while two other suspects survived and will be repatriated to their countries of origin for prosecution.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the submarine was intercepted while navigating a known narco-trafficking route and was reportedly carrying large quantities of fentanyl and other illicit drugs.
