Staggering footage shows US forces intercepting a floating refuelling vessel allegedly supporting a notorious Ecuadorian narco-terrorist organisation. Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere intercepted the vessel during an operation targeting “at-sea drug trafficking operations” in the Eastern Pacific. US Southern Command said the boat was linked to Los Choneros, with everyone aboard removed before the vessel was deliberately sunk. The dramatic operation is part of Donald Trump’s aggressive campaign against suspected drug-smuggling networks threatening the United States. SOUTHCOM said the task force is carrying out “precise and professional operations” to destroy the logistics networks fuelling narco-trafficking.
