US Boat Strike in Eastern Pacific Kills Two, Leaves One Survivor

-

The United States military carried out a lethal strike on a vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two people and leaving one survivor, the U.S. Southern Command announced. The military says the boat was suspected of being involved in drug trafficking operations along known smuggling routes.

Strike on Suspected Drug Trafficking Vessel

According to a statement posted by U.S. Southern Command, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on Monday against a vessel alleged to be engaged in narcotics trafficking. The operation resulted in two deaths, while one person survived and was reported to the U.S. Coast Guard for search and rescue activation.

Context of Ongoing Operations

This strike is part of a broader U.S. military campaign targeting vessels suspected of facilitating drug trafficking in the Pacific and Caribbean. The U.S. has launched multiple strikes on such boats in recent months, often describing the targets as linked to narco-trafficking operations. Critics have raised questions about the legal basis for these operations and the evidence supporting claims against the targeted vessels.
