U.S. Southern Command announced on X that the latest military strike in the Caribbean wiped out three narco terrorists.
SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis Donovan approved of the strike after officials determined that a Designated Terrorist Organization operated the boat.
They believed those on the boat were trafficking drugs.
The video on X shows a boat speeding on the water before being struck.

On April 19, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear
A SOUTHCOM spokesperson told CBS News that they “cannot discuss specific sources or methods” due to operational security reasons.
In late August 2025, America sent three Aegis guided-missile destroyers off the coast of Venezuela.
Venezuela responded by deploying drones and warships along its Caribbean coast.
The first strike occurred on September 2, launching Operation Southern Spear.
President Donald Trump’s administration faced immediate backlash, because of course, from Democrats and the world.
The administration has stood its ground. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said after the first strike that it would happen again.
Sunday’s strike is the 52nd strike since the military began the operation.
The strikes, including those in the Eastern Pacific, have killed 180 suspected narco-terrorists.
