The United States says it has carried out two deadly strikes targeting suspected drug-trafficking vessels in the eastern Pacific.
The U.S. Southern Command says the strikes took place on Saturday, hitting boats believed to be operated by designated terrorist organisations along known drug-smuggling routes.
According to the command, five suspected narco-terrorists were killed in the operation, while one survivor prompted a search and rescue effort by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The military says no U.S. personnel were injured.
