US Military Strike on Suspected Drug Smuggling Boat Kills Three in Pacific
The US military conducted a strike on a boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean accused of drug smuggling, killing three people. This is part of the Trump administration's campaign against alleged narcotraffickers in Latin America, with at least 211 deaths from such strikes since September. The military cited targeting known smuggling routes but provided no evidence of drugs on the vessel. Critics and some lawmakers have questioned the strikes' legality and effectiveness, urging the Pentagon to release unedited videos for transparency.
