The US military on Saturday carried out its 21st strike in recent weeks on a vessel it claims was transporting narcotics, killing three people in the Eastern Pacific, according to US Southern Command. The incident took place in international waters and targeted a boat linked to what officials described as a «Designated Terrorist Organization.» Authorities did not name the group or specify the vessel’s origin, CBS News reports. A video shared by SOUTHCOM indicated the boat was traveling along a well-known drug trafficking route. The video appears to show the boat going up in flames after the strike, NBC News reports.
