The US military on Wednesday intercepted and sank a vessel in the Eastern Pacific that it said was supporting a “narco-terrorist” organization, according to US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM).

SOUTHCOM said the operation targeted a vessel tied to Los Choneros, which it described as a violent narco-terrorist organization.

“On Sept. 2, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, and in coordination and collaboration with the Government of Ecuador, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM) successfully interdicted a vessel operating as a floating refueling station in support of illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations in international waters of the Eastern Pacific,” SOUTHCOM said in a statement.

“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was operating in support of the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization,” the military added.

SOUTHCOM said US Marines and sailors from the USS San Antonio “interdicted, boarded, searched, and cleared the vessel without incident.”
