Defense Department says four ‘narco-terrorists’ killed in latest Caribbean boat strike

The United States Southern Command said Wednesday four male “narco-terrorists” were killed in its latest kinetic strike on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean.The strike Wednesday was conducted under the U.S. military’s Joint Task Force Southern Spear, which is part of the Trump administration’s efforts to curb illicit drug smuggling operations into the U.S. mainland.
The command said the target was a drug vessel that was operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization. 
“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” SOUTHCOM said. “Four male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed.”
The Trump administration has largely been attacking alleged drug boats from Venezuela in its fight against drug cartels, and has conducted dozens of strikes against the boats so far, which have killed over 100 alleged “narco-terrorists.”
