The US military reported an attack on a vessel allegedly involved in drug trafficking in the eastern Pacific. This is the first reported action of its kind in over two months. The US Southern Command stated that the attack was carried out against a low-profile vessel operating along established drug trafficking routes.

Two people died in the attack, which occurred on Sunday. It is believed to be the first such attack since June 21. The reason for the suspension of operations after that date is not clear.

Further details about the attack and the circumstances surrounding it are available from the US Southern Command.
