According to authorities, four suspects were killed in the first attack, another four in the second and three in the third. The actions are part of operations to combat drug trafficking in the region.
The Armed Forces justified the offensive by stating that the vessels were sailing along routes known for transporting drugs and that the occupants were involved in activities linked to drug trafficking.
