The United States military has struck another boat suspected of carrying drugs in the Eastern Pacific, killing six men.

U.S. Southern Command said in a post on X that "intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations."

SOUTHCOM said that six "male narco-terrorists" were killed in the strike and that no U.S. military forces were harmed.
