May 30 (Reuters) – The U.S. 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.
U.S. 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, engaged in “narco-trafficking” operations.
“Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed,” it said.
This is the latest such incident over the last few months.
