The U.S. military on Thursday struck another alleged drug-trafficking vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing two people, the U.S. Southern Command said on X.

"Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations," the post said, adding "two narco-terrorists" were killed during this action.
