U.S. Forces Launch Explosive Strike on Suspected Drug Vessel in the Caribbean — Survivors Pulled from the Water

The U.S. military confirmed it carried out a precision strike in the Caribbean targeting what officials described as a “suspected drug-trafficking vessel.” According to initial reports, the operation took place overnight and involved aircraft and naval assets operating under Joint Task Force South.

Witnesses described fiery explosions across the horizon as the vessel was destroyed. Several individuals were later rescued from the water and are now in custody for questioning. Authorities believe the ship may have been carrying a large narcotics shipment.

The Pentagon said the mission was part of a wider effort to curb transnational trafficking routes operating through the Caribbean corridor. The number of survivors and their identities remain undisclosed pending investigation.
