WASHINGTON (AA) - The US military’s Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said Tuesday that a US-directed military operation in the Eastern Pacific targeted a suspected drug-smuggling vessel, killing five “narco-terrorists.”
"On October 27, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere executed a lethal, kinetic strike on a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific," it said on US social media company X. "Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking."
The command also shared unclassified footage of the strike.
