United States - September 09, 2026 Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes on September 9, under the direction of U.S. Southern Command. According to the official statement, confirmed intelligence showed the vessel was actively involved in narco-trafficking. The operation killed three narco-terrorists. A 10-second unclassified strike clip shows the go-fast vessel on the water immediately before and at the moment of impact. The footage was released with the statement and is described as missile strike footage. The official statement does not identify the vessel’s name or flag and provides no precise coordinates. The September 9 operation was conducted by Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere in the Caribbean. It followed six prior interdictions in which crews were removed before the vessels were sunk, with no casualties reported in those cases. The campaign has been cited as having killed at least 230 people after more than 70 strikes.
