The U.S. Army carried out an attack on a vessel in the Caribbean Sea, resulting in the deaths of four people, according to reports. This operation is part of an anti-drug campaign that has left at least 229 dead in several recent military actions.
According to U.S. Southern Command, the attacked boat was operating on routes associated with drug trafficking, and its occupants were classified as 'narcoterrorists.'
This attack is the second in a three-day period, reflecting an intensification of anti-drug operations by the U.S. in the Caribbean region.
General Francis L. Donovan, commander of SOUTHCOM, reaffirmed the military's commitment to neutralizing the violence and terror of drug cartels both in the region and within U.S. territory.
