The United States attacked a new United States in the eastern Pacific: two dead

The United States military reported that it carried out an attack against a vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean, an action that resulted in the death of two alleged drug traffickers. The operation was carried out against a boat that, according to military intelligence information, was traveling along routes habitually used for drug trafficking. A video released by the United States Southern Command shows the moment the vessel is hit and destroyed. The authorities indicated that no member of the US forces was injured during the operation. This action is part of the plan called “Lance of the South”, implemented since September with the aim of reinforcing the fight against drug trafficking in international waters of the Caribbean and the Pacific.
