US forces executed another strike on a drug trafficking vessel operated by narcoterrorists in the Eastern Pacific on Wednesday, killing two male narcoterrorists.
This comes after another boat was blown up on Tuesday night, killing one. It’s at least the third strike on a narcoterrorist vessel this month.
Such strikes have killed at least 195 drug smugglers on 59 vessels since the US operations in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean Sea began last September.
