WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S. military said Monday that it had conducted another strike against a boat accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two people.
The strike, which was announced by U.S. Southern Command on social media, has brought the total number of known boat strikes to 30 and the number of people killed at least 107 since early September, according to numbers announced by the Trump administration.
The military said the vessel "was engaged in narco-trafficking operations," though it did not provide evidence to back up the claim.
In a video of the strike posted to social media, a boat is seen moving through water before being struck by two explosions.

In Sept. of 1939 Hitler invented the lie that Poland had attacked Germany so he had to invade Poland.
I hope all the Western Democracies withdraw their ambassadors to protest these illegal acts by
a mad man undergoing severe cognitive decline.

(76,299 posts)They are open boats that can not go through the open ocean without running the chance of
swamping from waves and rain and they are outboard motor boats that can not go more than
50 miles miles. These attacks are about oil and Epstein.
Also the penalty for drug trafficking is not the death sentence too.

fuel where would they keep the drugs?
Nice try.
