(Adnkronos) – The United States has carried out a new air attack against a vessel in the Caribbean Sea presumably involved in drug trafficking, in an attack that, for the first time since the beginning of this series of operations undertaken by Washington, has left survivors. Although he did not specify the country involved, a government official told several US television broadcasters, including Abc and Nbc, that the American military carried out an air attack during the day without killing the entire crew, as had happened in the five previous bombings of this type, which caused the death of 27 people from Venezuela, Colombia, and Trinidad and Tobago.
Donald Trump’s administration has not yet released any official statement on the operation, which is part of the bombing campaign against vessels that US authorities have repeatedly identified as drug trafficking ships, without however providing any proof in this regard. A few hours earlier, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt had insisted on the legitimacy of the US government in carrying out this type of attack, stating that “there should be no surprise about it.” “The president has based his campaign on using all possible means to pursue drug cartels that have been trafficking illicit substances into our country for too long,” she stressed.
