The US carries out its deadliest attack against drug boats and kills 14 people in international waters of the Pacific

The United States Army has carried out its deadliest attack against the ‘narcolanchas’ since they began their offensive weeks ago. In the last hours, the Army has ended the lives of 14 crew members distributed in four boatswho have been subject to military attack in international waters of the Pacific.

The details of the operation have been offered by the US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, who has also reported a survivor after a wave of “lethal and kinetic attacks.”

All the bombings, he stressed, “were launched in international waters, without damage to US forces.” Furthermore, he has said that the Mexican authorities “they took responsibility for coordinate the rescue” of the only survivor detected, without further details about it.

The order given by Donald Trump was directed against boats accused of transporting drugs, which according to Hegseth “were operated by terrorist organizations who traffic narcotics in the eastern Pacific.

“The four boats were known by our Intelligence apparatusthey traveled on known drug trafficking routes and transported narcotics,” Trump’s Secretary of Defense stressed.

Of the 14 deaths, “8 narcoterrorists were on board the boats hit in the first attack, 4 narcoterrorists were on another boat in the second attack and 3 narcoterrorists were on another boat in the third attack,” he added.
