U.S. Strike Sinks "Narco-Terrorist" Ship in Pacific

A U.S. military strike has sunk a vessel described as a "narco-terrorist" boat in the Pacific Ocean. The Pentagon confirmed the operation happened along a major drug trafficking route. Four people on the boat were killed. They are linked to groups that use drug money to fund terrorism, according to U.S. officials. This strike is part of a larger campaign. Since September 2, similar U.S. operations have resulted in 98 casualties. No American personnel have been harmed in these actions. The Pentagon states these missions target the transportation of illegal drugs. The goal is to disrupt a key source of funding for terrorist organizations.
