U.S. Southern Command on Thursday said it sank an alleged refueling station operating in support of the Los Choneros narco-terrorist organization.
Sailors with Littoral Combat Force 24 aboard the USS San Antonio stopped, boarded, searched, and cleared the vessel, arresting the individuals aboard before sinking the boat. The operation was done in coordination with the government of Ecuador, to which the boat’s operators were turned over.
