"US says two people were killed in strike on a vessel in the Pacific Ocean, continuing a campaign denounced as illegal. The United States military has said that it killed two people in its latest attack on a vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean. US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), which oversees US military operations in Latin America, said on Thursday that two narco-terrorists were killed during this action."
"SOUTHCOM did not provide any evidence to support its claim that the vessel and the two victims were involved in drug trafficking. US strikes on vessels in the Pacific and Caribbean, which have killed at least 126 people in 34 attacks since the first recorded incident in September 2025, have been widely denounced as illegal under international law. The latest strike appears to be the first conducted by the Trump administration in 2026, according to records of the strikes tabulated by the watchdog group Airwars."
