"The US military announced the killing of another two men in a lethal kinetic strikeon a boat suspected of carrying drugs in international waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Monday. The Pentagon released video of the strike, which brings the total number of known naval attacks on suspected drug smugglers to 30 since September, and raises the death toll to at least 107 people, according to US military figures."
"There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs, Trump told reporters ahead of a lunch for Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, in Florida. Trump, the White House and the Pentagon have provided no other details. So we hit all the boats and now we hit the area, the president said, it's the implementation area, that's where they implement, and that is no longer around."
US military forces conducted a lethal strike in international waters of the eastern Pacific, killing two men aboard a boat suspected of carrying drugs. The Pentagon released video and identified the strike as the 30th known naval attack on suspected drug smugglers since September, raising the US military death toll to at least 107. US Southern Command said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed the strike after intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting known narco-trafficking routes and engaged in narco-trafficking operations. No US military forces were harmed. President Donald Trump asserted additional strikes and cited claims about drug shipment impacts while officials provided no further details.
