US Southern Command announced the latest strike against a drug trafficking vessel in the Eastern Pacific in the Trump Administration’s campaign against narco-traffickers and the Venezuelan Maduro regime on Monday. 

This is the first strike against a boat since last Monday, when US forces obliterated an apparent semi-submersible “low profile” vessel, “engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” killing one drug smuggler. Later in the week, US forces executed a land strike against a “big facility” in Venezuela, Trump said.

Today’s attack marks the 30th strike against drug boats in the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean Sea.

Two “narco-terrorists” were killed in the strike, according to SOUTHCOM.

At least 107 drug trafficking narco-terrorists have been killed since the beginning of the operations in early September.

SOUTHCOM said in a statement,

On Dec. 29, at the direction of @SecWar Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations in international waters. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two male narco-terrorists were killed. No U.S. military forces were harmed.

Earlier on Monday, President Trump confirmed that US forces conducted a land strike against a drug trafficking facility in Venezuela.

“There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs,” Trump told reporters at Mar-a-Lago.

Earlier this month, US forces also began seizing Venezuelan oil tankers after Trump ordered a full blockade on all sanctioned oil tankers going to and from Venezuela.

His reporting on election crimes in Maricopa County led to the resignation of one election official, and he was later banned from the Maricopa County press room for his courage in pursuit of the truth.
