The US military continues its intensified crusade against drug cartels, launching its 10th operation early Friday against a vessel suspected of trafficking drugs. This latest strike, carried out by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, resulted in the deaths of six individuals, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing campaign.
This operation targeted a vessel allegedly operated by the Tren de Aragua gang in the Caribbean, pushing the total death toll in this anti-drug initiative to 46. The quickening pace of these military actions underscores the US's commitment to weakening the capabilities of drug cartels operating in these regions.
In recent weeks, the frequency of these strikes has notably increased from a bi-weekly occurrence to multiple strikes within days. Notably, the military has expanded its operational domain, conducting raids not only in the Caribbean but also in the eastern Pacific, signaling a broader geographic scope of intervention.
