(WASHINGTON) -- U.S. Southern Command said in a statement that it struck an alleged "narco-trafficking" boat in the Caribbean Sea on Monday, killing two people.

"Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations," SOUTHCOM wrote in a post to X.

"Two male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed," it added. SOUTHCOM also published a video of the strike on X.

At least 189 people have now been killed by U.S. strikes in Operation Southern Spear.
