WASHINGTON (AA) - President Donald Trump said Saturday US forces destroyed a "drug-carrying" submarine that was traveling toward the US on a "well known narcotrafficking route."

"It was my great honor to destroy a very large drug-carrying submarine that was navigating towards the United States on a well known narcotrafficking transit route," Trump said on Truth Social.

Trump said the US intelligence confirmed this vessel was loaded up with "mostly fentanyl, and other illegal narcotics."

"There were four known narcoterrorists on board the vessel. Two of the terrorists were killed," he said, adding no US forces were harmed during the strike.
