US Navy strikes 'drug boat'

US Southern Command released aerial footage of the strike, showing a projectile hitting the bobbing vessel and causing a massive explosion.

Officials stated that the boat was operated by a designated terrorist organization and was engaged in 'narco-trafficking' along known transit routes.

This latest attack marks the fourth such deadly strike in just four days as the administration ramps up its maritime enforcement efforts.

Human rights advocates have raised concerns about the high death toll and the lack of judicial process for those targeted in international waters.
