US strike on narco-boat kills two

The U.S. Southern Command has conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel traveling along a known narco-trafficking route in the Caribbean Sea, resulting in two fatalities.

This operation is part of 'Southern Spear,' an intensified military campaign aimed at disrupting maritime smuggling routes in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Trump administration has significantly increased the use of force against suspected drug boats, with the total death toll from such strikes reaching 188 since September.

However, critics have pointed out that the military has yet to provide evidence confirming that the targeted vessels were actually carrying illicit narcotics.
