Three alleged narco-terrorists in the Eastern Pacific were killed in the fourth strike this week on a suspected drug vessel as part of the ongoing Operation Southern Spear, the US military confirmed.
A successful lethal kinetic strike against the “vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations” was carried out by the Joint Task Force Southern Spear on Friday, the US Southern Command announced — marking the seventh strike carried out by SOUTHCOM this month, FOX News reported.
