Statement from SOUTHCOM:
On September 19, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere executed a lethal, kinetic strike on a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean.
Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel’s active involvement in narco-trafficking. The operation killed four narco-terrorists.
WATCH:
Earlier this month, US Southern Command announced Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM) forces interdicted a floating refueling station supporting illicit drug-trafficking operations in the Eastern Pacific.
Individuals involved with the Los Choneros narco-terrorist organization were removed from the vessel and transferred to Ecuadorian authorities.
This was the second refueling station disabled by SOUTHCOM in the last few weeks.
SOUTHCOM previously announced military forces interdicted and destroyed two floating refueling stations for drug trafficking operations in the eastern Pacific Ocean
Both floating refueling stations were “operating in support of the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization,” according to SOUTHCOM.
SOUTHCOM also released additional footage from another interdiction of a “multi-vessel” refueling station.
“Individuals removed from the main vessel have been transferred to Ecuadorian authorities. Once the main vessel was cleared and the crew disembarked, U.S. forces sank it and the attached support vessels,” SOUTHCOM said in a statement.
