US forces executed another strike on a drug trafficking vessel operated by narcoterrorists in the Eastern Pacific on Wednesday, killing two male narcoterrorists.
This comes after another boat was blown up on Tuesday night, killing one. It’s at least the third strike on a narcoterrorist vessel this month.
Such strikes have killed at least 195 drug smugglers on 59 vessels since the US operations in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean Sea began last September.
US Southern Command wrote in a statement on X:

Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed.
A day prior, US forces took out another drug boat, killing one and leaving two survivors.
The US Coast Guard was notified to conduct search-and-rescue efforts.
