The Mi­a­mi-based Unit­ed States South­ern Com­mand (SOUTH­COM) said that two al­leged male “nar­co-ter­ror­ists” were killed in a “lethal ki­net­ic strike” on a ves­sel op­er­at­ed by “Des­ig­nat­ed Ter­ror­ist Or­ga­ni­za­tions” in the Caribbean Sea.

SOUTH­COM did not iden­ti­fy the “Des­ig­nat­ed Ter­ror­ist Or­ga­ni­za­tions” but said the strike was giv­en at the di­rec­tion of its Com­man­der Gen­er­al Fran­cis L. Dono­van.

SOUTH­COM said Joint Task Force South­ern Spear’s in­tel­li­gence “con­firmed the ves­sel was tran­sit­ing along known nar­co-traf­fick­ing routes in the Caribbean and was en­gaged in nar­co-traf­fick­ing op­er­a­tions.”
