US forces killed three men whom the military described as illicit drug smugglers in a strike on a boat in the Caribbean, US Southern Command said on Sunday.
Southern Command posted what it said was a video of the strike on the social media platform X, showing an explosion of a small boat travelling on open water.
The boat was travelling on “known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean,” Southern Command said.
The US military has so far killed 157 alleged members or affiliates of drug organisations in 45 strikes against drug trafficking vessels in the Western Hemisphere, a senior US defence official said last month.
