On May 4, acting under the direction of U.S. Southern Command commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal strike against a vessel linked to designated terrorist organizations. Intelligence reports indicated the vessel was operating along established drug-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and actively involved in narcotics smuggling. Two suspected narco-terrorists were killed in the operation, and no U.S. service members were injured.
