The US military has conducted another strike on an alleged drug smuggling boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two people, US Southern Command said.

Southern Command, whose area of responsibility includes South America, Central America and the Caribbean, announced the strike in a post on X on Friday.

"Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations," the officials said.

The incident is the latest in a series of US strikes on alleged drug trafficking boats since the Trump administration launched its campaign in September.

Southern Command said "two male narco-terrorists" were killed in the action, and no US military forces were harmed.
