The US military said it killed one person in a strike on a “low-profile vessel” suspected of carrying drugs in international waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Monday.

US seizes vessel off Venezuelan coast, officials say

“Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a low-profile vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations in international waters,” the US Southern Command said on social media website X.

No US military forces were harmed, it added.
