The US military on Sunday attacked a motorboat in the Caribbean Sea, which it said was used by drug smugglers. Four people died in the strike, whom US Southern Command described as alleged "narcoterrorists". aktuality.sk ↗
This was another operation against a vessel that US authorities link to drug trafficking in the Caribbean. According to available data, US forces have carried out at least 70 similar strikes in the region. The total death toll from these operations has reached at least 235 people. svet.sme.sk ↗
A US government official recently said that drug trafficking in the Caribbean had fallen by about two-thirds as a result of the military operations. The United States is thus continuing its strikes against vessels that, in its assessment, are used to transport illegal shipments. teraz.sk ↗
Authorities have not provided further details about the identities of the victims or the type of cargo on board the latest attacked vessel. The available information also does not indicate whether other people were on the boat or whether the strike led to any drug seizures. However, the repeated operations and the number of victims so far show that the American military campaign against alleged drug trafficking in the Caribbean is continuing.
