US forces carried out another strike on a suspected drug-smuggling vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean, officials confirmed on Friday. The attack, conducted on Thursday, left two people dead and one survivor rescued from the water. According to the US Southern Command (Southcom), the targeted vessel was traveling along a known drug-trafficking route. The rescued individuals were later handed over to Costa Rica’s Coast Guard.
Southcom did not initially disclose casualty figures but said the US Coast Guard was assisting in locating three people in distress. The latest incident brings the reported death toll from similar US operations since early September to around 160. The Trump administration has described these missions as part of its campaign against so-called “narco-terrorists” in Latin America.
However, international law experts and human rights groups have questioned the legality of the strikes, arguing they may constitute extrajudicial killings targeting civilians who pose no immediate threat to the United States. The operations have intensified debate over Washington’s military actions in the Caribbean and Pacific regions.
