U.S. Southern Command directed Joint Task Force Southern Spear to carry out a lethal kinetic strike on June 21 against a vessel in the Caribbean operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations.
Two male narco-terrorists were killed, and there were six male survivors. Following the engagement, U.S. Southern Command immediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivors.
No U.S. military forces were harmed.
