Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations in international waters. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two male narco-terrorists were killed. No U.S. military forces were harmed. #OpSouthernSpear @DeptofWar

Since operations began in early September, over 100 narco-terrorists have been killed in drug boat strikes.
CBS News has more:
The U.S. military has hit at least 30 alleged drug vessels in the region since early September, killing 107 people — part of a monthslong campaign of boat strikes near Latin America. President Trump has argued that boat strikes have been effective at quelling drug trafficking in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean Sea, but critics have questioned the president’s legal authority to carry out the strikes.
Another one bites the dust…
Keep ’em coming!
Things are drastically escalating with Venezuela.
This latest drug boat strike comes just hours after President Trump announced the first land strike on Venezuela.
