The United States carried out an attack on a vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two people accused of drug trafficking. The strike is part of an ongoing operation that began in September, during which around 200 people have reportedly been killed. Human rights organizations have described these attacks as extrajudicial killings.

According to the US Southern Command, the targeted boat was allegedly involved in drug smuggling and was traveling along a known trafficking route. In a statement, the command said that two 'narco-terrorists' were killed in the latest strike. The US military launched the 'Southern Spear' operation in early September, with President Donald Trump emphasizing that the United States is effectively at war with Latin American drug cartels.

However, the report notes that US authorities have not provided conclusive evidence linking the attacked vessels to drug trafficking, raising questions about the legitimacy of the strikes.
