– SOUTH AMERICAN COMMAND IN X
MADRID, December 30 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The US military announced Monday a new bombing in the eastern Pacific against a ship allegedly linked to drug trafficking and claimed to have killed two men who were on board, as part of an alleged campaign against drug trafficking that has already left more than a hundred dead.
“On December 29, under the direction of Secretary of War (Defense) Pete Hegseth, the ‘Southern Lance’ task force conducted a deadly kinetic attack against a vessel operated by designated terrorist organizations in international waters,” the Southern Command of the US armed forces posted on the social network X, repeating the argument made several times.
According to the statement, two men died in the bombing, although Southern Command did not confirm whether they were the only crew members aboard the ship or whether there were any survivors. He stressed, however, that “no member of the American military forces was injured.”
In its brief message, the military entity claimed that it had intelligence information that would have confirmed that “the ship was transiting known drug trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and participating in operations” of this type.
The campaign of attacks in the Caribbean Sea and the Eastern Pacific against ships linked, according to Washington, to drug trafficking has already left 107 dead, including these last two, during more than twenty military operations on both sides of the continent.
