The United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) has launched a precision strike on another high-speed vessel in the Caribbean Sea as part of ongoing military operations against drug trafficking.

Sea-news.az reports that SOUTHCOM announced the action on its official X (formerly Twitter) social media account.

The high-speed craft, traveling along a known drug trafficking route, was disabled by a precise strike, resulting in the deaths of all four individuals on board. The command stated that intelligence data fully confirmed the watercraft was being utilized for illicit narcotics smuggling.

According to U.S. media reports, military strikes targeting drug-carrying speedboats in the region since the fall of 2025 have resulted in the deaths of over 220 people.
