The US military has again bombed a boat allegedly used by drug gangs in the Pacific.
The vessel was reportedly being used for drug trafficking, based on intelligence information, and was travelling along a known drug smuggling route in the eastern Pacific, the US Southern Command (Southcom) announced on X on Saturday.
Three men, described by the military as “narco-terrorists,” were reportedly killed in the attack on Friday. No US personnel were harmed.
Since last autumn, President Donald Trump has repeatedly ordered attacks on boats suspected of drug smuggling in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
Washington cites the fact that drug cartels have been designated as terrorist organizations by the US government as the legal basis for the attacks.
Just a few days ago, there was an attack on a similar suspected drug-smuggling boat in the region.
