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.
