U.S. Southern Command announced the strike with its usual language that the vessel was \u201cengaged in narco-trafficking operations\u201d and operated by a designated terrorist organization. It provided no evidence for the allegation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest in a monthslong campaign against alleged drug boats traversing the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific.<\/p>\n

Video released by the military on social media shows a small vessel floating in the ocean before it\u2019s hit and engulfed in a fireball.<\/p>\n

The attack brings the death toll to 205 in a series of U.S. strikes that began in early September, with other attacks announced on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. The Trump administration has declared that the U.S. is at armed conflict with Latin American drug cartels, saying they are behind the flow of drugs into American communities.<\/p>\n

U.S. Southern Command said in its post on X that the strike came at the direction of Gen. Francis L. Donovan, the top U.S. commander in Latin America.<\/p>\n
