Washington — The U.S. military said it launched a strike Sunday in the Caribbean Sea that destroyed a boat accused of ferrying drugs and killed three people, U.S. Southern Command stated. The action is part of a campaign against suspected trafficking vessels that began in September and has operated along known smuggling routes. The series of strikes has resulted in at least 181 fatalities to date and has ramped up again this week despite concurrent conflict in the Middle East, officials said. The administration frames the operations as efforts against so-called 'narcoterrorism,' while the military has not publicly released evidence showing drugs aboard the targeted vessels; the strikes follow a January raid involving Nicolás Maduro.
