The US destroyed three alleged narco-trafficking boats in the eastern Pacific, killing several people aboard, escalating pressure on Venezuela. US Southern Command said the lethal strike occurred in international waters on December 30.
The Pentagon said intelligence confirmed the vessels used known drug routes and transferred narcotics. Three people died in the first strike, while others abandoned ship before follow-on attacks sank the remaining boats.
