The US military sank another suspected drug vessel in the Pacific Ocean Thursday, marking the 22nd strike under the Trump administration’s Operation Southern Spear and the first since War Secretary Pete Hegseth was accused of ordering survivors of a boat bombing be killed.
The latest lethal strike killed “four male narco-terrorists” traveling on a vessel operated by a “Designated Terrorist Organization” in international waters, according to US Southern Command.
“Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was carrying illicit narcotics and transiting along a known narco-trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific,” US Southern Command said.
The strike is the first in more than two weeks and brings the total number of alleged drug runners killed at sea since September to 86.
Footage of the strike shared on social media by US Southern Command showed a boat racing across the ocean before it’s stopped dead in its tracks by a fiery explosion.
The strike came on the same day House and Senate lawmakers questioned the Navy admiral who directed strikes against a suspected drug-running boat in the Caribbean Sea on Sept. 2.

“86.”
A good start. They need to know these are suicide missions.
Oh, and in the Eastern Pacific... like coming up from Baja Mexico?
Or somewhere else way down south, on the west coast of Mexico?
Just axin'. No one has ever said, at least not that I've heard.
“Hey Paco, what’s tha-”
CandyRandpaul is gonna cry again, isn’t he
They had high apple pie, in the sky, hopes. Whoops.
86
This has a certain ring to it for Ex-FBI director James Comey.
Rand Paul wept.
Those fish are all swimming faster thanks to all of that cocaine in the water!
Hellfire’s are 150-200,000 each. We should be striking the production facilities inside Mexico and Venezuela stop messing around with the runners it’s just expensive theater until we hit the leadership and production means.
I mean we have a full MEU and a carrier strike group costing tens of millions per day to have in theater and we are blowing up speed boats for show it’s laughable that it’s making a dent in the flow of narcotics again only strikes on leadership and production means will stem the flow.
“You can only catch the faster fish after hitting 80mph.”
When I was stationed at a mid-west SAC base, and traveling on dirt roads to get to our facilities, we would say the only way to hit the birds flying all over the place is to drive at 60mph. Not 61mph, not 59mph.
“Hellfire’s are 150-200,000 each. We should be striking the production facilities inside Mexico and Venezuela stop messing around with the runners it’s just expensive theater until we hit the leadership and production means.”
Give it time.
If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour... you’re gonna see some serious sht.
22 boat loads of dope is a huge impact. Get more.

One would think that after 22 boat strikes, narcotic traffickers would find another mode of Transit.
Costs tens of millions per day(using your figures) regardless of where they are.
Bomb them. They are terrorists.
Ruthless progrum talked about this and how dims now suppprt poor narco trafficers
Smug said these guys in the boats are just Uber guys/s
I think this is a pressure move by Trump on the cartels and see how they react
