US forces kill two suspected narco-terrorists in Eastern Pacific lethal strike operation
U.S. forces carried out a lethal kinetic strike Thursday on a vessel allegedly operated by a designated terrorist organization, killing two suspected narco-terrorists.
U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) said intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations.
Thursday’s strike marked the second U.S. strike this year. A previous strike also killed two suspected narco-terrorists and left one survivor, according to officials.
