The US military has struck a vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing two people, in the latest such attack, condemned by rights groups as “extrajudicial killings” and described by Washington as targeting “narco-terrorists.”
The US Southern Command alleged the vessel struck on Friday was operated by “Designated Terrorist Organisations” that it did not identify.
It said that no US military forces were harmed. It described those killed as “male narco-terrorists,” without offering details.
“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” the US Southern Command said on X.
