Strike on alleged drug boat kills 2 in eastern Pacific

The U.S. launched a Wednesday strike on another alleged drug boat traveling through the eastern Pacific, resulting in the death of two people.

U.S. Southern Command (Southcom) said the vessel was operated by designated terrorist organizations but did not specify which ones or provide additional evidence of the boat’s intent to transfer narcotics. 

“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” Southcom wrote on the social platform X. “Two male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed.”
