“On September 19, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere executed a lethal, kinetic strike on a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean,” SOUTHCOM said in a statement.

Saturday’s strike comes amid a monthslong campaign launched by the Trump administration aimed at dismantling cartel-linked trafficking networks.
SOUTHCOM has conducted dozens of strikes in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean targeting vessels it says are connected to “narco-terrorists.”
On Sept. 9, the military said it carried out a strike on a vessel involved in narco-trafficking that resulted in three deaths.

Following Saturday’s strike, the Trump administration’s campaign targeting suspected cartel vessels has resulted in at least 231 deaths tied to at least 69 reported strikes over roughly one year.
Video of Saturday’s operation released by SOUTHCOM shows a vessel moving through the water before erupting into a massive fireball.
In recent weeks, SOUTHCOM has also released several videos showing military personnel intercepting and boarding vessels allegedly involved in narco-trafficking before removing their crews and sinking the boats.
