U.S. Strike Targets Drug Trafficking Vessel in Caribbean
The mission was executed by Joint Task Force Southern Spear under the direction of SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, demonstrating a coordinated effort guided by senior military leadership.
"Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations.
"Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed," SOUTHCOM said on the US social media company X’s platform.
Officials noted that the strike is part of a continuing U.S. campaign aimed at disrupting suspected drug trafficking networks operating in the Eastern Pacific.
In recent months, the U.S. military has conducted numerous similar operations across the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean regions. According to official statements, these actions have resulted in the deaths of more than 150 individuals, though some experts have voiced concerns about the legality of such strikes.
