The US military conducted a "lethal kinetic strike" on a boat in the Eastern Pacific on Thursday, alleging it was smuggling drugs. Three individuals were killed in the attack, which the US Southern Command stated targeted a vessel operated by "Designated Terrorist Organisations" involved in narco-trafficking.

US Military Strikes Boat in Eastern Pacific, Killing Three

The U.S. military struck a boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing three individuals accused of drug smuggling. This incident is part of a broader campaign by the Trump administration against alleged "narcoterrorists," bringing the total killed in such strikes to at least 211 since September. Critics question the legality and effectiveness of these actions, particularly as fentanyl is often trafficked overland.
