WASHINGTON (TNND) — The U.S. conducted a “lethal kinetic strike” on an alleged drug boat on Friday as part of the Operation Souther Spear campaign.
The strike killed two passengers and left one survivor, according to U.S. Southern Command. The U.S. Coast Guard was activated to trigger a search and rescue for the survivor.
They claimed the boat was involved in “narco-trafficking routes” along the Eastern Pacific.
This is the first known strike since the U.S. ousted the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and brought him to New York to face drug trafficking charges.
