华盛顿(美联社)—— 美军部队周三在东太平洋海域袭击了一艘船只,杀死了五角大楼称正在贩运毒品的三名男子。美国南方司令部在社交媒体帖文中表示,美方没有人员受伤。随着特朗普政府继续在国际水域采取激进的打击贩毒集团行动,最近几天已宣布了数次此类袭击。自该行动于9月初开始以来,至少已有178人在袭击中丧生。而在几个月前的1月,美军曾在一次突袭中抓获了时任委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗。南方司令部将周三的攻击描述为对“由指定恐怖组织运营的船只”进行的“致命动能打击”。该司令部表示,这艘船当时正沿着“东太平洋已知的毒品走私航线”行驶。公告并未指明该组织的名称,也没有透露在袭击中丧生的三名男子的姓名,或提供更准确的地点。公告同样未提供这几人与毒品贩运有关联的证据。
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. military forces struck a vessel Wednesday in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing three men the Pentagon says were trafficking drugs. No U.S. personnel were harmed, the U.S. Southern Command said in a social media post.Several such strikes have been announced in recent days as the Trump administration continues its aggressive anti-cartel actions in international waters. At least 178 people have been killed in the strikes since the effort began in early September, months before the U.S. raid in January that captured then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The Southern Command described the attack Wednesday as a “lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization.” It said the vessel was transiting along “known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific.The announcement did not name the organization or the three men killed in the strike or offer a more precise location. Nor did it provide evidence of the men’s ties to drug trafficking.
