5 killed in the new attack of the US army in the waters near Venezuela

According to Isna, the US military announced on Thursday that it attacked 2 boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean, claiming that they were smuggling drugs, which resulted in the death of five people, bringing the total number of deaths in these attacks, which have been carried out since September, to more than 100.

According to the “Hail” website, the US Army, in a message published on the “X” social network, wrote that three of the dead were from the first boat and two others were from the second boat, and published a 30-second video of this new attack.

The US Army’s Southern Command wrote in its statement about this attack: “These boats were traveling along known routes used by drug traffickers in the eastern Pacific Ocean and carrying out drug smuggling operations.”

The U.S. military claimed the boats were operated by members of designated terrorist groups, but did not name the groups.

Also, the US Army announced that none of its soldiers were injured in this operation.

According to estimates, the US military has carried out 26 attacks since the beginning of September against boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea under the pretext of fighting drug traffickers, resulting in the deaths of at least 104 people.

Recently, the “Washington Post” newspaper reported that on September 2nd, after attacking a boat in the Caribbean Sea, the US military killed 2 people who survived the first attack in a second attack, which many observers considered an example of a war crime and a violation of international law.
