Two suspected narco-terrorists were killed on April 24 after Joint Task Force Southern Spear, under Gen. Francis L. Donovan, targeted a vessel linked to designated terrorist organizations.
No US personnel were harmed in the operation, which follows a similar strike in the Caribbean last week and another in the Eastern Pacific earlier this month, both resulting in multiple deaths.
These strikes are part of a broader US campaign against cartel-linked trafficking operations, with over 180 deaths reported since September, amid ongoing legal and human rights concerns from international observers.
