SOUTHCOM did not disclose the organization or where the vessel was traveling from.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Southcom\/status\/1990147866397221102\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">video<\/a> posted to social media, SOUTHCOM said the vessel was carrying narcotics and transiting along a known drug-trafficking route. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The latest strike comes amid a major U.S. military buildup in the region. On Sunday, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/uss-gerald-ford-aircraft-carrier-arrives-caribbean-buildup-venezuela\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">USS Gerald R.

The USS Ford is the largest aircraft carrier in the world, and the U.S. Navy&#8217;s most advanced.<\/p>\n<p>The administration has insisted that the buildup of warships is focused on stopping the flow of drugs into the U.S., but it has released no evidence to support its assertions that those killed in the boats were &#8220;narco-terrorists.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since September, U.S. forces have struck at least 22 vessels allegedly carrying drugs from South America to the U.S., killing at least 83 people.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration says the operations \u2014\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/what-we-know-us-strikes-alleged-drug-boats-caribbean\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the details of which remain sparse<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u2014 are part of an anti-drug offensive.
