The identity of the individuals on the boats has not been disclosed, and it is unclear whether they were civilians or directly involved in drug trafficking activities. The US Navy has not provided further details about the operation, citing security reasons.
The incident highlights the ongoing challenges in the fight against drug trafficking in the region and raises questions about the use of lethal force in such operations.
