*VIDEO AVAILABLE: info@covermg.com*This is the incredible moment the U.S. Coast Guard took out a drug smuggling boat's engine with a bullet. Footage shows warning shots strafing across the water in front of the fast-moving boat in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, before a marksman disabled the vessel's engine. It is thought that the warning shots from the helicopter would have been fired with a mounted M240 machine gun, while the disabling round would have come from a precision rifle. The scenes are among highlights of the Coast Guard Cutter Stratton patrol boat as it returned to Coast Guard Island on 29 June after a 94-day counter-drug patrol in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. During the tour, The crew detected and interdicted five suspected drug smuggling vessels, detained 14 suspected drug smugglers and seized over 6,000 pounds of cocaine worth an estimated $113 million. The Stratton's advanced capabilities include a small unmanned aircraft system, an attached Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron MH-65 helicopter and aircrew, and an embarked Law Enforcement Detachment from the Pacific Tactical Law Enforcement Team. On June 27, Stratton's crew offloaded 3,720 pounds of marijuana seized in known drug-transit zones in early June by Coast Guard and U.S. Navy assets. The contraband and five suspected drug smugglers were transferred to the Department of Justice officials in San Diego for prosecution. Stratton's deployment began in late March as part of U.S. Southern Command's enhanced counter-narcotics operations in the Western Hemisphere to disrupt the flow of drugs in support of Presidential National Security Objectives.Where: East Pacific OceanWhen: 09 Jul 2020Credit: USCG/Cover Images**Editorial use only*VIDEO AVAILABLE: info@covermg.com***

ZDA ubile pet ljudi v Pacifiku, trdijo, da so tihotapci mamil

Ameriška vojska je v sobotnem napadu na dva čolna, s katerima naj bi v vzhodnem Tihem oceanu domnevno tihotapili mamila, ubila pet ljudi, je v nedeljo sporočilo južno poveljstvo ameriške vojske (Southcom). Dodali so, da je ena oseba napad preživela, poročajo tuje tiskovne agencije.

Iz Southcoma so sporočili, da so v dveh smrtonosnih napadih na dve plovili ubili "pet narko-teroristov". Plovili sta po njihovih navedbah pluli po "znanih poteh za prevoz drog v vzhodnem Pacifiku" in sodelovali pri tihotapljenju mamil, poroča nemška tiskovna agencija dpa.

S tem je število ubitih v teh spornih ameriških napadih na plovila, s katerimi naj bi domnevno tihotapili mamila v Karibskem morju in vzhodnem Tihem oceanu, povečalo na najmanj 168, poroča francoska tiskovna agencija AFP.

Boj brez dokazov

Vlada predsednika Donalda Trumpa trdi, da so napadi del boja proti tolpam iz Latinske Amerike, ki jih ZDA označujejo za narko-teroriste. Doslej sicer še ni objavila konkretnih dokazov, da so plovila, ki jih napadajo od septembra lani, vpletena v tihotapljenje mamil.

Strokovnjaki za mednarodno pravo ter skupine za človekove pravice te napade opredeljujejo kot izvensodne poboje, saj umirajo civilisti, ki ne predstavljajo neposredne grožnje za ZDA.
