The U.S. military conducted a strike on another suspected drug-smuggling boat on Friday.
The U.S. Southern Command posted a video of the strike and announced in a post on X:
On Jan. 23, at the direction of @SecWar Pete Hegseth, 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 narco-terrorists were killed and one survived the strike. Following the engagement, USSOUTHCOM immediately notified @USCG to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivor.
