The US Secretary of War accused the media of incitement

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth accused the media of fabrications and incitement after publishing about the order they gave to “kill everyone” in attacks on drug traffickers’ boats. 

⠀
On Friday, the Washington Post newspaper, citing sources familiar with the situation, reported that Hegset ordered “everyone to be killed” during the US strikes on drug traffickers off the coast of Venezuela, and therefore, during the first strike on September 2, the commanders were ordered to launch a second strike to kill the survivors.

“As usual, the fake media is spreading even more fabricated, inflammatory and derogatory messages to discredit our outstanding soldiers fighting to defend the motherland,” the Pentagon chief said in response.
