None of the provided sources mention Operation SOOS, a Dominican counterpart, or a seizure of roughly 450 kg with two arrests, so the claim can be neither confirmed nor refuted. The sources describe different operations: a June 2026 Colombian Caribbean seizure of 5,439 kg with seven arrests, and an Oct. 30 Caribbean interdiction of about 8,131 lb with five detained.

The host relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

What was said

… End quote I should also mention here that maritime interdictions have not stopped while these boat strikes have gone on. Per El Clip, on the same day as that very first strike, the Colombian Aerospace Force, its Dominican counterpart, and the U.S. Joint Interagency Task Force South carried out Operation SOOS, which led to the seizure of nearly 450 kg of cocaine and the arrest of two people. SEUSS and other operations like it have occurred in parallel to the violent extrajudicial killings of the boat strikes. …

What we found

Context. No source names Operation SOOS, the Dominican counterpart, or a roughly 450 kg cocaine seizure with two arrests, so the claim's central event goes unaddressed.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Context. A June 2026 Colombian Navy and Colombian Aerospace Force operation with JIATF-S seized 5,439 kg of cocaine and arrested seven people, a different operation with different figures.[3][4]

Context. An Oct. 30, 2026 JIATF-S Caribbean interdiction seized about 8,131 lb of cocaine and detained five people, again a different operation with different figures.[6][7]

Context. The claim's reference to 'the same day as that very first strike' is resolved from the post, and the claim drops that timing qualifier; the core operation claim is graded as stated.
