US kills three 'narco-terrorists' in attack on vessel
The U.S. military conducted a deadly strike against a vessel in the Pacific on Saturday, killing several alleged "narco-terrorists," according to U.S. Southern Command.
That attack, which killed three men, was one of four such military strikes announced by SOUTHCOM last week.
"On May 30, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. 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. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed," the post on X noted.
