USA releases photos of boats suspected of trafficking and says they will 'hunt and kill' traffickers

oglobo31 August 2026 at 19:23

The Pentagon released images of vessels suspected of transporting drugs and reaffirmed that the United States intends to pursue and kill traffickers who, according to the American government, pose a threat to the country's population. The photographs show boats monitored by the Armed Forces on the open sea and were recorded on October 27 and 29 and on December 4, 2025.

Pentagon spokesperson Kingsley Wilson told Fox News Digital that the message to numerous groups remains the same since the beginning of the military campaign. Wilson declared: "If you traffic deadly illicit drugs and threaten the American people, we will hunt you down, find you, and kill you."

According to Wilson, Operation Southern Spear has been dismantling trafficking networks and forcing these organizations to change their routes and operational methods. The released images serve as evidence of the continuous monitoring carried out by American Armed Forces in international waters.
