Personal från USA:s kustbevakning gensköt tre misstänkta narkotikabåtar samtidigt i Karibiska havet. Under insatsen, som ägde rum cirka 90 sjömil utanför Cartagena i Colombia, beslagtogs 6 085 pund kokain till ett värde av omkring 45 miljoner dollar.

Besättningen på kustbevakningsfartyget Tahoma sjösatte två mindre båtar och en helikopter för att stoppa fartygen. En av båtarna vägrade lyda order, vilket fick helikopterbesättningen att använda precisionsskytte riktat mot dess motorer. Personerna ombord hoppade i vattnet och räddades utan att några skador rapporterats. De övriga två fartygen stannade när de närmades av de mindre båtarna.
