Us Attacks Another Vessel Allegedly Carrying Drugs, Killing 3 People
The strike is part of an ongoing campaign that has killed at least 133 people since September 2025, targeting vessels linked to drug-trafficking and terrorist organizations.
- On Friday, U.S. Southern Command said U.S. forces struck a vessel in the Caribbean Sea, killing three individuals as a video shows the boat explode.
- Since early September, the campaign of boat strikes has resulted in at least 38 attacks and a death toll of 130 people, slowing after January, officials said.
- SOUTHCOM, which oversees operations in the region, conducted the operation at the direction of its commander, Gen. Francis L. Donovan, and assessed the vessel was engaged in drug-smuggling, with no U.S. forces harmed.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said last week some top cartel drug-traffickers have decided to cease narcotics operations indefinitely due to recent kinetic strikes.
- Transparency concerns persist as U.S. Southern Command withheld strike details, and critics say the administration offered little evidence for killing `narcoterrorists` amid the Caribbean region's drug transit role.
