WASHINGTON, Dec 31 (Reuters) – The United States on Tuesday carried out strikes against three vessels in international waters that were suspected of nacro-trafficking, the U.S. Southern Command said on Wednesday.
The vessels were traveling as a convoy, the military said.
“Three narco-terrorists aboard the first vessel were killed in the first engagement. The remaining narco-terrorists abandoned the other two vessels, jumping overboard and distancing themselves before follow-on engagements sank their respective vessels,” Southern Command wrote on X.
