US Southern Command announced the latest strike against a drug trafficking vessel in the Eastern Pacific in the Trump Administration’s campaign against narco-traffickers and the Venezuelan Maduro regime on Monday.
This is the first strike against a boat since last Monday, when US forces obliterated an apparent semi-submersible “low profile” vessel, “engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” killing one drug smuggler. Later in the week, US forces executed a land strike against a “big facility” in Venezuela, Trump said.
Today’s attack marks the 30th strike against drug boats in the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean Sea.
Two “narco-terrorists” were killed in the strike, according to SOUTHCOM.
Fishing poles and tackle were flying everywhere.
