US military says it killed four men in strike on suspected drug vessel

The US military says it killed four men in a strike on a suspected drug vessel in international waters in the Eastern Pacific on Dec. 4, 2025.
The US military, citing intelligence sources, said in a statement on X "that the vessel was carrying illicit narcotics and transiting along a known narco-trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific."
US Southern Command released a video it said captured the US military strike on a small vessel in the Eastern Pacific. The clip, with a 21-second duration, appeared to show the boat being hit and erupting in flames in international waters.
Reuters was not able to independently verify the location or the date when the video was filmed. Upon checking this footage, no old results were found.
