CNN-The Pentagon on Saturday conducted the 21st known strike on an alleged drug-trafficking boat, US Southern Command announced Sunday.
“Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics,” Southern Command posted on social media. “Three male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed.”
“The vessel was trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific and was struck in international waters,” per the announcement.
The latest attack brings the total number of people killed by the US military’s strikes on the alleged drug boats to 83. CNN has reported that the military is using a variety of fighter jets, drones and gunships to carry out the strikes in the campaign officials say is meant to disrupt the flow of drugs into the US.
The attack comes days after a Defense Department official said the US conducted its 20th strike on an alleged drug trafficking boat last week.
The Justice Department has told Congress the administration does not need its approval to carry out the strikes, which some experts have said could violate US and international law. The ongoing campaign has also begun to surface tensions with allies; the United Kingdom has stopped sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug-trafficking vessels to avoid being complicit in the strikes, CNN reported last week, which the UK believes are illegal.
The president of Colombia also said last week that he had ordered his country to suspend intelligence sharing with the US until the attacks stop.
CNN’s Haley Britzky and Sean Lyngaas contributed to this report.

Check out the movie Avatar (2009) there is a scene where the military general leading the mission speaks of his past battles and he talks about a battle in Venezuela….That movie was made in 2009 and it sometimes makes me wonder if Venezuela has been in the missions pipeline for a long while now…..
So this article hints it came form west South America so Colombia, Ecuador or Peru and countries like U.K and Colombia are stopping saying information to not contribute with illegal acts
YAC…..Sit back with your popcorn my friend because plenty boom boom gonna happen in Venezuela and Maduro will surrender in a very short space of time….I really hope that Maduro will think about his life and the life of his soldiers and come to an agreement and peacefully leaves office…..
Don’t know what I said that caused my comments to be left out. So I’ll try it again. All the boats seems to be looking the same. Is this really fake or what. Cannot be a coincident to have all of the boats to be open speedboats. Let me tell you people something about boating. If you ever have to travel to Barbuda in a speedboat without somewhere to hide from the sun, you will burn. That sun will kill you. And what about when it rains. I means these people are selling us lies and some of us are so gullible that we will swallow this hook line and sinker. No questions asked and not even thinking for ourself.
