US Southern Command: On September 3, in accordance with the instructions of General Francis L. Donovan, commander of the Southern Command, and in collaboration with the Ecuadorian government, the Western Hemisphere Joint Task Force successfully intercepted a ship acting as an offshore floating gas station in the international waters of the Eastern Pacific. The ship supports illegal maritime drug smuggling activities. Intelligence confirmed that the ship's operation was to provide assistance to the violent drug-trafficking terrorist organization “Los Joneros”. The 24th Coastal Operations Force, dispatched from the amphibious dock carrier San Antonio, intercepted, boarded, searched, and cleared the vessel without incident. The people on board will be safely handed over to the Ecuadorian authorities. After all disposal was completed, the US military sank the ship.
