US strikes alleged narco-trafficking vessel in Pacific

TEHRAN, May 30 (MNA) – The American military conducted a strike on a vessel that it claimed was engaged in narco-trafficking in the eastern Pacific, the US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) reported.

"Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations," SOUTHCOM claimed on X.

Three men were killed as a result of that action, while no US troops were harmed, according to the post.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth announced Operation Southern Spear targeting alleged drug cartels in November 2025.
