U.S. Military Launches Strike on Drug Vessel in Eastern Pacific
The military operation resulted in two deaths among suspected "narco-terrorists" while one individual survived the assault, the command disclosed via the social media platform X.
"Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations," SOUTHCOM stated.
The strike represents an escalation in the Trump administration's aggressive counter-narcotics campaign throughout the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean—a military posture intensified since September under the banner of combating drug smuggling operations.
