Military Strike in Pacific Ocean Leaves Three Dead, Officials Say

American military officials announced Saturday that forces had conducted an operation against a boat in the Pacific Ocean, resulting in the deaths of three individuals, marking the second such action within two days.

According to a statement posted on social media by U.S. Southern Command, intelligence reports confirmed the targeted boat was traveling through known drug smuggling corridors in the Pacific Ocean and was actively participating in narcotics trafficking activities.

“Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed,” the command stated.

Military officials noted this represents another in a series of similar operations that have taken place over recent months.
