The United States Southern Command said Friday night that its latest kinetic strike on an alleged narco-trafficking vessel killed three people in the Caribbean.

The strike was part of "Joint Task Force Southern Spear" which targets alleged drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. The military has conducted dozens of strikes in recent months, which have killed over 100 people.

SOUTHCOM said the vessel was operated by "designated terrorist organizations," but did not indicate what terrorist organization was responsible for vessel or what country it came from.

"Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations," SOUTHCOM said on X. "Three narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed."

The strike comes a week after War Secretary Pete Hegseth said some drug traffickers in the Caribbean and South America have stopped their operations over the Trump administration's lethal kinetic strikes.
