The U.S. military has intensified its global anti-narcotics campaign with a deadly strike in the Eastern Pacific, leaving four suspected narco-traffickers dead and one survivor rescued at sea. According to the Pentagon, the intelligence-led operation targeted multiple vessels believed to be linked to transnational cartel activity operating across the Pacific corridor. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the strike under Trump’s directive, identifying the destroyed vessel as part of a known trafficking route connecting Central America, the Pacific and Asia.
