TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Al Jazeera, the US Southern Command confirmed another attack on a vessel in the Pacific Ocean and announced that it had targeted a vessel in the eastern part of the ocean that it claimed belonged to people involved in drug trafficking.

According to the command's claim, "intelligence reports confirmed that the vessel was involved in drug trafficking."

Confirming the deaths of two people and the rescue of another, the US Southern Command claimed that these people were involved in the drug trade.

According to estimates by the CBS News network, the US military has destroyed dozens of vessels off the coast of Latin America in recent months under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking, an operation that has killed more than 100 people.

Human rights groups have declared these US operations to be extrajudicial executions and war crimes.
