The US military said on Saturday it had carried out a strike on a vessel in the eastern Pacific killing three men, the second strike in as many days.
Officials with the US Southern Command said in a post on X that intelligence had confirmed that the vessel was transiting along “narco-trafficking” routes in the eastern Pacific and engaged in “narco-trafficking” operations.
“Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action,” the post said. “No US military forces were harmed.”
On Friday, the US military said it carried out another strike on a boat accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean. That attacked killed three men as well, pushing the over death toll in such strikes by the US over the last several months to more than 200 people.
Friday’s and Saturday’s strikes were among four over the previous week.
