US Conducts Airstrike on Vessel in Pacific, Claims 'Narco-Terrorists' Eliminated

The US military has conducted a new airstrike in the Eastern Pacific, targeting a vessel allegedly carrying narcotics. According to the announcement, two people were killed and one survivor is being sought by the US Coast Guard. The strike took place following the arrest of Nicolás Maduro and is the latest in a series of more than 30 similar attacks since early September, which have resulted in over 100 deaths. US authorities claim the targeted vessels are involved in drug trafficking. According to US Southern Command, intelligence services confirmed that the vessel was traveling along known drug trafficking routes. The operation was captured on video, showing the vessel moving before exploding.
