LONDON and WASHINGTON — U.S. Southern Command mentioned in a press release late on Monday {that a} strike “on the course” of Secretary of Protection Pete Hegseth within the Jap Pacific hit a vessel and killed one man it alleged to be a “narco-terrorist.”
“Joint Activity Pressure Southern Spear carried out a deadly kinetic strike on a low-profile vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations in worldwide waters,” the assertion mentioned.
“Intelligence confirmed the low-profile vessel was transiting alongside identified narco-trafficking routes within the Jap Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” it continued. “One male narco-terrorist was confirmed killed throughout this motion.”
Monday’s strike brings the demise toll to not less than 105 individuals from identified U.S. strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats within the Jap Pacific and Caribbean, which started in early September.
