U.S. forces intercept and sink a vessel accused of operating as a floating refueling station for drug traffickers in the Eastern Pacific. U.S. Southern Command says intelligence linked the vessel to the Los Choneros narco-terrorist organization. The crew was removed before U.S. forces sank the vessel. Those aboard have been transferred to Ecuadorian authorities as U.S. forces continue targeting narco-trafficking networks across the Western Hemisphere. ▻
