"Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organizations in international waters. Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. A total of four male narco-terrorists were killed, and no US military forces were harmed. The announcement comes a day after Donald Trump announced a blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela."
"Since 2 September, more than 20 strikes have killed at least 99 people, most off the coast of Venezuela. The administration has faced increasing pressure to release video of a 2 September vessel attack, but Hegseth has refused to do so and the administration has defended its efforts as a success, saying it has prevented drugs from reaching US shores, and pushed back on concerns that it is stretching the bounds of lawful warfare."
US Joint Task Force Southern Spear carried out a lethal kinetic strike in international waters of the eastern Pacific, killing four male narco-terrorists and sustaining no US casualties. Intelligence reportedly tied the vessel to a known narco-trafficking route. The action followed a presidential announcement blocking sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers and an expanded military buildup. The Pentagon has reported multiple strikes in the region, with more than 20 actions since 2 September that killed at least 99 people, most off Venezuela. Officials have resisted releasing video of a 2 September attack while defending the campaign as preventing drugs reaching US shores, amid criticism that the campaign may stretch lawful warfare bounds and statements tying operations to pressure on Venezuela's president.
