Southeast Asia Information Port (www.dnyxxg.com) – According to The New York Times, the U.S. Southern Command stated on the 9th local time that it carried out a "deadly strike" on a "drug trafficking ship" in the eastern Pacific, killing two people on board and leaving one survivor.
The report stated that the U.S. Southern Command said on social media that the U.S. Joint Task Force "Southern Spear" carried out a "deadly strike" on a vessel operated by an "identified terrorist organization."
The U.S. Southern Command also stated that intelligence indicated the ship was "sailing along known drug smuggling routes in the eastern Pacific and engaging in drug smuggling activities." The operation killed two "drug terrorists" on board, and one survived.
The report stated that the U.S. Southern Command attached an approximately 11-second video to the post, showing the U.S. military striking a vessel at sea, resulting in a large explosion.
As previously reported, since early September 2025, the U.S. military has conducted multiple strikes against what it claims are "drug-trafficking ships" in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, and announced Operation Southern Spear in November. However, the U.S. government has not released any evidence to prove that its targets were involved in drug trafficking.
