Video released by U.S. Southern Command shows a U.S. strike Monday on a vessel allegedly engaged in drug trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.\u00a9\u00a0U.S. Southern Command<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Eight alleged “narco-terrorists” were killed Monday in U.S. military strikes<\/a> on three suspected drug vessels in the Eastern Pacific, the Pentagon announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Southern Command said in a social media post <\/a>that the strikes, among nearly two dozen conducted in the region since early September, were ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deceased included three in the first vessel, two in the second and three in the third, Southern Command said. The boats were allegedly being operated by U.S-designated terror groups in international waters, and Southern Command said they were using known narco-trafficking routes and and engaged in narco-trafficking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new strikes come amid increased scrutiny<\/a> of a so-called double tap strike by the U.S. on Sept. 2 that killed the survivors of an initial strike on an alleged drug boat and rising tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attacks announced late Monday compose the 23rd through 25th strikes on suspected drug boats by U.S. forces in the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean; they have killed at least 94 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
