U.S. forces struck a pair of drug trafficking vessels in the eastern Pacific on Nov. 9, as part of a continuing U.S. military campaign along the coast of South and Central America.
“Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, two lethal kinetic strikes were conducted on two vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in a Nov. 10 X post announcing the latest U.S. strikes.
