“Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic attack on a vessel in international waters belonging to a terrorist organization,” SOUTHCOM said in a statement on Portal X.
What was the reason for the US Army attack?
How many people died in the attack?
In what waters was the attack carried out?
What are the charges against the victims of the attack?
The military published, as in previous cases of this type, a short video allegedly showing an air attack. It can be seen, according to the dpa agency, that many shots were fired at the boat. In most previous attacks, it looked more like a bullet hit.
The US is fighting drug traffickers
Since September, U.S. forces, citing alleged intelligence, have repeatedly attacked boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, claiming they were carrying drugs.
No specific evidence was provided to support this claim.
According to American media reports, over 100 people have already died in these attacks.
The U.S. government maintains its actions are justified and consistently labels the victims drug traffickers and “terrorists.”
