"Two narco-terrorists were killed and one survived the strike. Following the engagement, US SOUTHCOM immediately notified U.S. Coast Guard to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivor, the military said. Last week, the US claimed responsibility for killing two people in an earlier attack in the eastern Pacific, bringing to three the number of attacks Washington has ordered on vessels since its forces abducted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro during a bloody nighttime raid on the capital, Caracas, in early January."
"According to monitors and tallies kept by media organisations, the US has now carried out some 37 attacks against 39 vessels in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean Ocean, killing at least 130 people, including the latest killings on Monday. SOUTHCOM did not provide details on the medical condition of the survivor from Monday's attack, nor the chances of the person's rescue by the US coastguard and the likelihood of their survival."
US Southern Command said a lethal kinetic strike on Monday targeted a vessel in the eastern Pacific, alleging involvement in drug trafficking without providing evidence. Two people were killed and one person survived the strike. US SOUTHCOM immediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard to activate search-and-rescue for the survivor. The US claimed responsibility for an earlier attack last week that killed two people, bringing to three the number of attacks ordered on vessels since forces abducted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro during a January raid on Caracas. Monitors and media tallies attribute some 37 attacks against 39 vessels, killing at least 130 people. Legal scholars, rights workers, and regional leaders accuse the US of extrajudicial killings in international waters.
