Washington, Aug 25: The US military has struck another suspected drug-trafficking boat in the eastern Pacific, killing two people, the Pentagon said, as Washington continued its expanded campaign against maritime narcotics networks.
The operation is part of a wider US military campaign targeting vessels suspected of transporting illegal drugs. The Pentagon said the boat was struck in international waters in the eastern Pacific.
The latest attack has further pushed the death toll from the US anti-cartel maritime campaign past 210. The operations have drawn attention over Washingtonās increasing use of military force against suspected drug-trafficking vessels.
