U.S. military strike sinks suspected drug boat in Pacific, at least 2 killed

The U.S. military says it has carried out a strike on a suspected drug-trafficking vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing at least two people. According to U.S. Southern Command, the boat was operating along established narcotics-smuggling routes and was targeted based on intelligence assessments. The strike is part of Operation Southern Spear, launched by the Trump administration as part of its intensified campaign against Latin American drug cartels. However, rights groups and legal experts have raised concerns over the operation, questioning the evidence behind the strikes and warning about potential violations of international law.
