US NAVAL INSTITUTE: U.S. forces with Joint Task Force Operation Southern Spear struck a boat allegedly carrying illicit narcotics, U.S. Southern Command announced Wednesday.
The strike – on a boat in the Caribbean – killed four men. The total number of deaths from Operation Southern Spear is now 160 people in 47 strikes on alleged drug boats, including 10 people who initially survived but were presumed deceased after unsuccessful search and rescue operations, according to USNI News data.
The boat was allegedly operated by “designated terrorist organizations,” although a specific group was not named in the SOUTHCOM post on social media site X.
This is the third strike in March. A strike on March 20 in the Eastern Pacific left three survivors, but the U.S. Coast Guard has not provided an update on their status.
The U.S. Coast Guard and Ecuador Navy seized 592 kilos of cocaine Tuesday in international waters off of the coast of Ecuador, SOUTHCOM announced in a post on X.
The number of U.S. Navy warships in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility has shrunk as the U.S. turned its attention to Iran. USS Gettysburg (CG-64), an independently-deployed guided-missile cruiser returned home to Norfolk on Monday, USNI News previously reported.
As of Monday, the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group remained in SOUTHCOM, along with cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG-70) and destroyer USS Stockdale (DDG-106). It is unclear whether the U.S. will send another cruiser to replace Gettysburg.

US NAVY HELLFIRE MISSILE AWAITS U SUSPICIOUS FAST MOVING LITTLE BOATS OF THE CARIBBEAN
I told our Caribbean leaders to join the USA and negotiate reciprocity and start terminate these drug boats, be it luxury American yacht with drugs and gun just strike them, and the Caribbean government especially Antigua should ask for air space data on all aerial craft and America drug interdiction aircraft on that date the old road fishermen disappeared from the face of the earth. But our political leaders are so tied up in money laundering and manipulation of law enforcement to allow drugs to pass with their friends that they are scared to talk. It takes new leadership to confront the USA with clean hands, when you have government surrendering control of it’s ports of entry to a private organization called GLOBAL PORT owned by some private individual that comes to this country with some hair brain scheme taking over security where drugs could be launch unto these cruise ship, the USA and other countries watch with eyes wide open, they can’t be fooled like the Antiguan public. The politicians in Antigua is so accustomed to a semiliterate population under their control since independence with the stifling of the media that they think they could do the same internationally as I listened to Gaston threatening lawsuit against American prominent citizens in the legal fraternity.
If America is ok with blowing up suspected drug traffickers without a trial, shouldn’t they be doing the same thing to their suspected pedophiles?
This world is really frigged up. All you have to do now-a-days is to ALLEGE someone is doing something illegal and you can just blow them to smithereens and that is the end of the matter. This reminds me of a story I heard when I was a boy. A China man stole something, the police could not find him so he saw another China man and locked him up because all China man look alike
… And furthermore, I’ve just read about a milking farm in Ecuador has recently been blown up by the US Administration saying it was some sort of drug making organisation (again, without showing any proof of this, just like the Caribbean fishermen that were blown up at sea).
Once more, this horrific slaughter of farm aninals and possible human life has been totally ignored by the main stream media.
And yet I recall reading an over exaggerated article about the kerfuffle of a couple missing dogs at The Royalton. Again, where are animal rights activists on the aforementioned slaughter in Ecuador by the US?
I thought all animal lives matter as well?
Bloody Western hypocrisy at its finest once again
Where is the evidence to show that these people are trafficking drugs?.
These Americans need to leave our caribbean waters and go back to their territory.
I believe all those people that has been killed are innocen.
We need new Caricom heads. They are, headless and spineless and are of no use to our little island states a d people. They are self-centered and weak. We need real men with integrity, balls and backbones to tell America to leave us alone. They are killing of future generation in every way and out brilliant, spineless leaders lips are sealed 🤐. Good God help us.
@Ed if we want to go in the pedophiles road..Hey Antigua is full of them. How do you want to treat them? Do you remmember how Antiguans politicians want to bring down the age of concession in order to “make legal” dating a children?
UNICEF have it clear..Any human being under 18 years old is consider “Children” and every state should protect them. Is Our law protecting them?
If as a combined force in the Caribbean we can push back to save our fishing industry, we must find it!
How the French they know the boat carrying drugs. We have never seen any evidence of that. Trump will have his day. Time longer than rope
one day they may just discover some wealthy, well known Americans missing at sea and realize by possible location that they drifted into one of these areas and were executed by accident. Lord forbid that any other innocent regional fishermen get innocently executed like this
Just like humpty dumpty Trump will have a great fall. God and time
