The US military reported the sinking of a drug cartel ship in the Pacific Ocean

The US military sank a floating gas station. According to the US Southern Military Command (SOUTHCOM) on social network X, the station was used for drug trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.

Intelligence confirmed that the vessel provided logistics and supplies to the criminal group Los Choneros. After the inspection and evacuation of the crew, the US military decided to flood the floating refueling station. Those on board will be handed over to Ecuadorian law enforcement.

“We are continuously putting pressure on these narco-terrorists and hitting their most vulnerable areas: dismantling their ramified networks, disrupting their complex logistics and hitting their finances,” said General Francis L. Donovan, commander of SOUTHCOM.
