The United States targeted a suspected drug-trafficking vessel in the Pacific off South America's coast, according to a CBS report citing two U.S. officials.
Recently, President Donald Trump has authorized strikes on at least six drug vessels in the Caribbean, resulting in 27 fatalities. These strikes are part of Trump's efforts to combat the 'narcoterrorist' threat he attributes to Venezuela, led by President Nicolas Maduro.
The U.S. has bolstered its military presence in the Caribbean with assets including guided-missile destroyers, F-35 jets, a nuclear submarine, and around 6,500 troops. Last week, Trump confirmed he had also greenlighted CIA covert operations in Venezuela.
