The U.S. military has conducted another strike in the Caribbean.
On Friday evening, the U.S. military conducted a military strike on suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean.
Military operators conducted the strike after receiving intelligence that the vessel that was under their surveillance was connected to a designated terrorist organization.
Fox News provided more details on the strike and gave the death toll:
The United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced Friday that the U.S. military carried out an operation targeting suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean, leaving three people dead.
“On Feb. 13, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations,” SOUTHCOM said in a post on X.
Aerial footage posted by SOUTHCOM shows the vessel being struck.
“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” the joint command added in the post.
Three narco-terrorists were killed during the operation, the joint command said.
No U.S. military personnel were harmed in the operation, the command added.

The strike by the Pentagon comes as a surprise, given that in recent weeks the U.S. military has begun moving its assets from the Caribbean to the Middle East.
The Union Leader has reported the U.S. military is moving a second aircraft carrier from the Caribbean to the Middle East as tensions with Iran are at an all-time high:
The Pentagon is sending an aircraft carrier from the Caribbean to the Middle East, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Friday, a move that would put two carriers in the region as tensions soar between the United States and Iran.
The Gerald R. Ford carrier, the United States’ newest and the world’s largest carrier, has been operating in the Caribbean with its escort ships and took part in operations in Venezuela earlier this year.
One of the officials, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said the carrier would take at least a week to reach the Middle East.
The Gerald R. Ford will join the Abraham Lincoln carrier, several guided-missile destroyers, fighter jets and surveillance aircraft that have been moved to the Middle East in recent weeks.
