The United States Southern Command announced this Monday (29) that American military forces carried out a precision attack against a vessel operated by narco-terrorists, which was sailing in international waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
The attack took place as part of Operation South Spear and resulted in the death of two narco-terrorists, as reported by the Southern Command itself in a publication on the X platform.
According to the statement, the action was carried out under direct orders from US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The command stated that the vessel was transiting maritime routes known for drug trafficking activities and, according to American intelligence, would be directly involved in the logistics of transporting narcotics.
“Two men were neutralized. No American soldiers were injured”, reported Southern Command.
The action is part of a series of offensives that have been carried out by the American government. According to data from the War Department itself, more than 30 vessels have been destroyed in recent months in similar operations, with more than 100 individuals killed. Washington did not reveal the identity of the targets or the quantity of drugs that were being transported on the affected boats.
The attack occurs on the same day that President Donald Trump confirmed that he had ordered a bombing of a port area used by drug trafficking networks in the territory of Venezuela – a country accused by American authorities of harboring and collaborating with transnational criminal organizations linked to drug trafficking.
