"Under orders from Southern Command Commander Francis Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear launched a lethal strike on the vessel on April 19," explained a statement posted on X's social media account. Intelligence reports are cited that allegedly confirm the vessel was sailing along drug smuggling routes in the Caribbean and was being used for drug trafficking. Earlier, the US military carried out another strike on a vessel involved in illegal drug trafficking in the Pacific Ocean. Three people on board were killed. The United States carried out previous similar strikes on vessels suspected of drug smuggling on April 13 and 14. The strikes killed two men on board. Four more drug-trafficking suspects were later reported killed.
