The U.S. military blew up an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the eastern Pacific on Feb. 9, killing two “narco-terrorists” and leaving one survivor, reported The Hill. The vessel was allegedly operated by a designated terrorist organization, transiting along “known narco-trafficking routes” in the Pacific Ocean and was engaged in “narco-trafficking” operations, according to U.S. Southern Command (Southcom).
The Monday attack on Feb. 9 marks the second so-called drug boat mission this month, with the U.S. military blowing up a purported drug-smuggling vessel last week in the eastern Pacific, killing two people aboard. The tally since Sept. 2 is 38 strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats and 130 people killed in both the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.
