The US military conducted a lethal strike on a boat in the Eastern Pacific on Saturday, killing three men, officials said.
The latest attack brings the total number of those killed to over 200 – according to an AFP tally – since the Trump administration began its offensive in September.
In a post on X, US Southern Command said “the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations.”
“Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action,” it added.
Black-and-white video footage accompanying the post showed the boat sitting on the open sea before being engulfed by a large explosion.
