The U.S. military conducted its latest operation as part of Operation Southern Spear on Thursday, killing two suspected “narco-terrorists” in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The strikes were announced in a post on X by U.S. Southern Command.
“On Feb. 5, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations,” read the post. “Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed.”
