US military attacks drug smuggling vessel in Pacific: One killed

The US military announced on Tuesday that it had attacked a vessel allegedly involved in drug trafficking operations in the eastern Pacific, killing one person in the process. "One male narco-terrorist was killed during this operation, and two survived," stated US Southern Command on the X platform. The US Coast Guard was called in to assist with rescue efforts. It remains unclear whether the survivors were pulled from the water.

According to intelligence data, the vessel was traveling along a known drug trafficking route in the Pacific, the US military reported. This information could not be independently verified.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has been targeting vessels in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific since September, stating that the operations are aimed at combating international drug trade.
