Video: US Military Strike Kills Narco-Terrorists in Eastern Pacific Waters
US military strike narco-terrorist vessel during counter-trafficking operation
US military strike on a narco-terrorist vessel was carried out on December 17, when Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic operation in international waters, according to an official statement.
The strike targeted a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization as it transited along a known narco-trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Authorities said the vessel was actively engaged in drug trafficking operations at the time of the strike.
Four narco-terrorists killed in international waters
Military officials confirmed that four male narco-terrorists were killed during the operation. No U.S. personnel were reported injured, and the strike was described as precise and deliberate.
The operation was conducted in international waters, consistent with international law and ongoing counter-narcotics and counter-terrorism efforts.
Part of broader counter-narcotics strategy
Officials said the strike aligns with broader efforts to disrupt narco-terrorist networks that use maritime routes in the Eastern Pacific to traffic illegal drugs and finance terrorist activities.
Joint Task Force Southern Spear continues to monitor and interdict vessels linked to transnational criminal and terrorist organizations operating along key smuggling corridors.
Authorities emphasized that operations of this nature aim to weaken both terrorist infrastructure and the financial networks supporting illicit trafficking.
