The US Central Command, in a post on X, said the casualties are part of Operation Epic Fury which was launched against Iran by America and Israel on Saturday.
Friday's attack raises the death toll from the Trump administration's strikes on alleged drug boats to at least 148 people in at least 43 attacks carried out since early September in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean.
The United States has also sent at least a dozen F-15E attack planes to the region to bolster the number of land-based strike aircraft, according to U.S. officials.
The United States has forces across the region, including the forward headquarters of its Central Command at Al Udeid in Qatar and the headquarters of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
