The American army destroyed a submarine in the sea itself. President Donald Trump on Saturday (October 18, 2025) claimed on his Truth social platform that the US targeted and destroyed a drug smuggling submarine in the Caribbean Sea. This submarine was allegedly loaded with fentanyl and other drugs and was heading towards America.
Trump said, “It is a matter of pride for me to destroy a very large drug-carrying submarine.” This operation took place on routes that have long been notorious for drug smuggling. He further said that two terrorists were killed and two are being sent back to Ecuador and Colombia. He said that if I had allowed this submarine to come, at least 25 thousand Americans would have been killed.

US military operation decisive attack on drugs network
This incident is part of the US military operation starting in September 2025, the purpose of which is to stop the supply of drugs from Latin America to America. The US military has so far targeted six ships in the Caribbean Sea, most of which were speedboats or semi-submarines. American officials say that this campaign is a decisive attack on the supply chain of drugs. However, America has not yet provided evidence that all those killed were actually drug smugglers.
What do experts say?
International law experts and human rights organizations have raised questions on such killings. Experts say that without clear evidence and judicial process, such military actions can be considered a violation of international law. A security analyst said that even if these men were drug smugglers, they should have been punished through judicial process and not shot at sea.
Where did the submarine come from?
US authorities did not disclose the submarine’s departure point, but experts believe it likely departed from a secret shipyard in Colombia or Venezuela. Such semi-submarines have been used for years to transport cocaine from South America to Central America or Mexico. These submarines are usually hand-built in shipyards hidden in forests, which are capable of escaping radar detection.
Fentanyl and American concern
Fentanyl, an extremely powerful synthetic drug, has become a new epidemic for American society. Millions of deaths due to fentanyl overdose have been recorded in America in the last few years, so the US administration considers it a national security threat. The Trump administration is adopting a zero tolerance policy to control this drug, which also includes direct military action against drug smugglers.
