The U.S. Coast Guard announced a major milestone in its ongoing battle against narco-terrorism, seizing more than 100,000 pounds of cocaine since August 2025 during Operation Pacific Viper.

The operation targets drug smuggling routes across the Eastern Pacific, with Coast Guard crews working closely alongside international and interagency partners to intercept shipments before they reach the United States. Officials said the seizures represent a significant disruption to transnational drug networks, which often fund criminal and terrorist activities.

“Operation Pacific Viper continues to demonstrate the Coast Guard’s commitment to stopping narcotics before they threaten American communities,” said a spokesperson. The agency emphasized that coordinated maritime patrols, intelligence sharing, and rapid response are key to the operation’s success.

The achievement underscores the U.S. government’s ongoing focus on combatting drug trafficking at sea, highlighting the strategic importance of interagency cooperation and international partnerships in reducing the flow of illegal narcotics into North America.
