SOUTHCOM lethal strike Eastern Pacific
Gen. Francis L. Donovan says U.S. Southern Command is taking the fight directly to cartel networks after a lethal strike in the Eastern Pacific on August 23. SOUTHCOM stated that Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere targeted a vessel confirmed by intelligence to be actively involved in narco-trafficking along known routes. The operation eliminated two people identified as narco-terrorists. Donovan framed the action as a clear warning regarding ongoing military engagement against these groups
