The US military struck a boat in the Caribbean Sea on Tuesday, killing four people, US Southern Command said.

It's the latest action in a nearly yearlong controversial campaign by President Donald Trump's administration targeting alleged drug traffickers in Latin America.

"Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking. The operation killed four narco-terrorists," Southern Command said in a post on X, accompanied by a video showing what appeared to be a boat in motion, followed by a flash.

The command did not identify those killed or give a precise location, saying only that the boat was operating along established smuggling routes in the Caribbean.
