American military forces attacked a suspected drug trafficking vessel in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean. During the operation, four people were killed, whom the military considers members of a terrorist organization linked to drug trafficking. This information was disseminated by the U.S. Southern Command.

The attack was part of a drug enforcement campaign initiated by the Trump administration in early September.

Vessel attacked in international waters

According to military sources, the attack on the vessel occurred in international waters. The boat was carrying illegal drugs and was moving along a well-known drug trafficking route in the region. During the attack, the vessel sustained damage and caught fire.

Notable statement from the US President

Donald Trump previously threatened military strikes against any country supplying illegal drugs to the US. It is noteworthy that only 29% of Americans support killing suspected drug traffickers without trial, 51% oppose it, and 20% have no clear position on the matter.

As a result of the continuation of the anti-drug operation by the US, American military forces attacked a vessel carrying illegal drugs, resulting in the death of four people. US President Donald Trump expressed a threat of military strikes against countries supplying drugs to the States. Currently, society is divided over the use of military force against criminals without trial.
