US Southern Command Forces Destroy Drug Trafficking Vessel Refueling Stations in Eastern Pacific
US Southern Command forces interdicted and destroyed two floating refueling stations for drug trafficking operations in the eastern Pacific Ocean last week as operations against drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere continue.
Both floating refueling stations were “operating in support of the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization,” according to SOUTHCOM.
On Thursday, US forces interdicted, boarded, and searched a fueling station before blowing it to smithereens and sinking the vessel.
“Individuals removed from the vessel will be safely transferred to Ecuadorian authorities,” SOUTHCOM reported, noting that the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition, AKA the Shield of the Americas, a multinational alliance dedicated to destroying cartels in the Western Hemisphere, and the Department of War, remain unwavering in their mission to defeat narco-terrorists.”
