The United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced Friday that the U.S. military carried out an operation targeting suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean, leaving three people dead.
"On Feb. 13, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations," SOUTHCOM said in a post on X.
