US military strike on alleged drug-trafficking boat in eastern Pacific kills two
The U.S. military conducted a strike Friday on a vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two men and leaving one survivor. This is the latest in a campaign that began in early September under the Trump administration's new counterterrorism strategy prioritizing drug cartel elimination in the Western Hemisphere. The military has not provided evidence that vessels struck were carrying drugs; at least 193 people have been killed across the campaign.
