"At least 130 people have been killed in US attacks on vessels in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean since September. The United States military has attacked a boat in the Caribbean Sea, killing three people, as it continues deadly air strikes that have killed at least 130 people since September 2025. The US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), which oversees military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean, said that US forces conducted a lethal kinetic strike on Friday, killing three people."
"The US military again repeated its claim, without providing any evidence, that it was targeting people suspected of drug trafficking. International law and human rights experts have repeatedly said that such attacks amount to extrajudicial executions, even if those targeted are alleged to be engaged in trafficking drugs. According to monitors and tallies kept by media organisations, the US has now carried out some 37 attacks against 39 vessels in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean Sea, killing at least 130 people."
US military air strikes have targeted vessels in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific since September, killing at least 130 people. SOUTHCOM reported a lethal kinetic strike in the Caribbean that killed three people on Friday. The US military asserted the strikes targeted individuals suspected of drug trafficking but provided no public evidence for the claims. International law and human rights experts characterize such strikes as extrajudicial executions even when suspects are alleged traffickers. Media tallies and monitors record roughly 37 attacks against 39 vessels across the region. Some attacks have killed multiple people, including two fatalities earlier this week.
