The US military says it carried out a series of ‘kinetic strikes’ on three boats allegedly involved in narcotics trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.⁣ ⁣ US Southern Command said intelligence confirmed the vessels were operating along known drug routes. Eight people described as ‘narco-terrorists’ were killed, according to a statement posted on X.⁣ ⁣ Footage released by the military shows explosions hitting the boats, sending smoke and flames into the air, though the exact location and timing cannot be independently verified.⁣ ⁣ The strikes come amid a wider US military campaign targeting alleged drug trafficking linked to Venezuela, which Caracas denies, accusing Washington of imperialism and attempted regime change.⁣ ⁣ #americanmilitary #venezuela
