Three People Killed in U.S. Airstrike on Drug Smuggling Boat in the Caribbean

SadaNews - The U.S. military launched an attack on a boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean late Friday to Saturday, suspected of drug smuggling, resulting in the death of three men, according to officials.

Washington has been conducting strikes in the Pacific and Caribbean regions for months, targeting vessels suspected of being involved in drug trafficking.

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has not provided any evidence of the involvement of the targeted boats in drug smuggling.

Experts and officials at the United Nations have condemned these attacks, describing them as extrajudicial executions.

The death toll from these strikes has reached at least 198, according to a count by the "Agence France-Presse."

The U.S. Southern Command for Latin America and the Caribbean stated in a post on "X" that the targeted boat was "involved in drug trafficking operations."
