US says it struck another vessel in eastern Pacific, killing three

May 30 - The U.S. military said on Saturday it had carried out a strike on a vessel in the eastern Pacific killing three men, the second strike in as many days.

U.S. Southern Command said in a post on X that intelligence had confirmed that the vessel was transiting along "narco-trafficking" routes in the eastern Pacific, engaged in "narco-trafficking" operations.

"Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed," it said.

This is the latest such incident over the last few months. REUTERS
