It is the third such attack in a week, and is part of increased US forces in the Caribbean
The US military launched a strike on an alleged drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean which killed three men, in its third such attack over the course of a week.
“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” US Southern Command, which oversees operations in Latin America and the Caribbean, said on Twitter/X.
The message was accompanied by a 20-second video of the strike, which shows black-and-white footage of a strike being launched and the boat bursting into flames.
The Southern Command identified the three men killed as “male narco-terrorists” and clarified that no US military forces were harmed in the strike.
