The vessels were reportedly operating in international waters, attempting to evade detection.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1226\">Military officials said the strikes were executed to <strong data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1081\">disable the boats and prevent the drugs from reaching their destination<\/strong>, emphasizing that the mission was focused on stopping organized crime activity that fuels violence, addiction, and instability across borders.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1357\">\n<p data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1357\">\u201cThis operation sends a clear message that drug trafficking routes at sea will not go unchallenged,\u201d a defense source stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1582\">Following the strikes, maritime patrol units moved in to <strong data-start=\"1416\" data-end=\"1460\">secure the area and assess the situation<\/strong>.
