Four suspected drug boats were destroyed in the Pacific Ocean after US forces carried out airstrikes that left 14 people dead, according to Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, as reported by the BBC.
The Mexican navy confirmed it is searching for a lone survivor roughly 400 miles (643 km) off the coast of Acapulco. This incident adds to a recent string of US operations targeting vessels accused of transporting narcotics across the Pacific and Caribbean regions.
Hegseth said the latest strikes, conducted on Monday under the direction of President Donald Trump, represent a significant escalation in Washington’s efforts to curb drug trafficking into the United States.
