US military says four killed in strike on suspected drug-trafficking boat in Caribbean

The US military said its forces struck a suspected drug-smuggling boat in the Caribbean on Saturday, killing four people. "Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere executed a lethal, kinetic strike on a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean," US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said in a statement shared on social media. It added that "confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking." The post also contained video footage of what appeared to be the strike, showing a moving boat followed by a large explosion. The US has moved to clamp down on drug-smuggling routes under US President Donald Trump, who has pledged to "wage war" against drug cartels.
