The US military conducted a strike on a boat in the Eastern Pacific, claiming it was involved in narco-trafficking, resulting in the deaths of three men. The military has not provided evidence linking the vessel or its occupants to drug trafficking, despite President Trump declaring an “armed conflict” with Latin American cartels. Since September, US strikes on alleged drug boats have killed at least 148 individuals. Critics question the legality and effectiveness of these actions, noting that fentanyl is primarily smuggled into the US through land routes from Mexico.
