US strikes drug boats

The U.S. military has conducted another lethal strike against a vessel suspected of transporting narcotics in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing three individuals.

This latest operation follows a similar strike in the Caribbean Sea and brings the total death toll of the Trump administration's aggressive anti-smuggling campaign to 190.

U.S. Southern Command released footage of the strike, which officials say is part of an ongoing mission to dismantle international drug trafficking networks.

However, the campaign has faced growing criticism from human rights groups and legal experts who question the legality of using military force against civilian vessels in international waters.
