U.S. Southern Command announced Thursday that American forces conducted a lethal kinetic strike in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing four suspected narco-terrorists and destroying a smuggling vessel believed to be carrying a significant quantity of illicit drugs.<\/p>\n

The strike, authorized by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth under Operation Southern Spear, is the 22nd such operation against cartel-linked traffickers in international waters and brings the total number of suspected narco-terrorists killed to nearly 90, according to the command.<\/p>\n

The operations have continued despite criticism from some members of Congress who have questioned the administration\u2019s use of military force in anti-trafficking missions,\u00a0Breitbart News reported.<\/p>\n
